Life is a State of Mind

I used up about 20 seconds of my allotted 15 minutes of fame by getting on today’s “Net Neutrality” episode of the Kojo Nnamdi radio talk show. Kojo’s show was talking about the Net Neutrality movement, and I tried (unsuccessfully, I think) to point out that what we all call Net Neutrality is really an effort to prevent the monopolies from grabbing more money. I tried bringing up the ugly truth about the Tauzin-Dingell bill and similar attempts to fleece the taxpayer to fatten the baby Bell companies and the cable companies. There are podcast copies of the show online, and I get through at about 22 minutes and 40 seconds into the podcast. They never really answer me, but it was a tough question and poorly phrased. Wish I’d had time to more properly organize my thoughts before they queued me into the call.
