jts Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 The internet was working and progressing just fine. So the FCC decided to muck it with a 400 page bill. Why? To create problems where there were none. To create jobs for lawyers. To begin a power grab. To take over the internet. To create a solution that won't work for a problem that doesn't exist. And in a few years technology would make the problem impossible to exist.Warning. I don't know if this kind of obscenity is allowed on OL. Here it is.http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2015/db0312/FCC-15-24A1.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francisco Ferrer Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Any information channel outside government control is a threat. Ayn Rand, to her great credit, was criticizing the FCC as far back as 1962: The basic evil in any theory of a "mixed economy" — an economy of freedom mixed with controls — is the evasion of the fact that a government holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force and that political power is the power of coercion. While a dictatorship rests on a blunt acknowledgment of this fact, on the motto that "might is right" — a "mixed economy" rests on pretending that no such distinction exists, that might and right can be safely scrambled together if we all agree never to raise this issue. The current policy of the F.C.C. has provided a spectacle of not raising that issue, on a grand scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jts Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 400 pages is too much. I propose the following law.1. No law shall be passed that exceeds one page.2. All laws that exceed one page are abolished, effective immediately.3. Page is not more than 4000 bytes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
