Maintaining net neutrality is the base of upholding free speech rights online, and always keep that in mind as the big boys mentioned above try to throw their weight around and looking to profit over allowing those rights.

The Need For Getting Free
Feeling like the village idiot
Sometimes in life, we can get the feeling we’re the village idiot of our families. Sometimes that’s how I feel on my own end. Maybe I need to find what I find joy in and pursue it.
Trans-Pacific Partnership: The Case Against It
First of all, I see too many red flags just on the basis of the 1st Amendment, particularly regarding free speech. Who’s to say that we could have laws of another country imposed upon on us, or that corporations here in America will start censoring out what they don’t want us to see (particularly of voices critical of their activities)? This is true in regards to net neutrality.
Another red flag I see has to do with environmental laws, specifically that they could end up weakened to make room for more of a dominant voice from big oil/big energy, such as +Koch Industries. They’ll be fighting for the unrestrained ability to make our air, food and water dirty and toxic, and make a profit off of it as well. Uh…how batshit are they? Batshit enough to be this psychopathic and antipathic to the rest of us who dare to blast them for making us breathe and ingest their noxious chemicals? I’d say a big, fat yeah! However, this is just the tip of the iceberg, we’re talking about here. Let me put it a different way, how much would the Charles and David Koch care if your kid were to develop either asthma, emphyzima, bronchitis, or COPD from breathing in their chemicals? How about cancer, specifically lung cancer? Answer: None! They’d be very happy and sleep very easily knowing your kid is sick, as clean air is a privilege to them.
