Internet censorship

There has been a lot of discussion and fear about this Net Neutrality bill and it is probably going to affect almost everyone who uses the internet.  You know I am a pretty strong Republican, but there is one thing that I do disagree with the Republican party is the censorship of the internet.  It seems like there is one guy who wants to delete and shutdown any websites that promotes copyright infringement.  That sounds like a good idea, because there is a lot of stealing on the internet and one of the Ten Commandments says that "Thou Shall Not Steal".  It is going to shutdown any "rogue" websites, which is a good idea, because they are full of viruses, but this bill might go out of hand.  There is a lot of copyright infringement on every website, including this site.  Probably pulling something off of Google is going to have me sent to jail, and everyone pulls something off of jail.  Everyone is going to be in jail and the prisons will eventually become  overcrowded of "internet offenders" and not the usual "ax murderers" that should be in there.  This site will not be accessible in America, along with Facebook, YouTube, MySpace, EBay, and even Google.  Yes, Google.  The internet is going to be back into a dark age, only showing sites that are run by the US government and educational sites such as your school.  Even educational sites may be blocked because of "copyright infringement", such as Wikipedia.  YouTube and Wikipedia has excellent educational value to it and schools decide to block it.

This goes against the Constitution - the United States is a place to have freedom of speech, religion, the press.  Eventually the internet will turn into some communist type internet like it is in North Korea or if the Soviet Union exist today. Russia will have more internet freedom than the USA.  It is going to be the same thing as letting Ned Flanders control the internet - allowing only the 700 Club on the internet and people to listen to Amy Grant online only.

I do agree with this bill and it should have some revision.  It should not turn into some internet dictatorship bill and if it did, we will be having riots.  I'm not kidding.  Riots!  This will give for impeachment of Obama for a Republican backed thing.  I have a feeling the Obama is not going to pass this thing - because he likes his internet too.

I have a feeling there is going to be some internet regulation in the future someday.  The rest of the world has at least some regulation, and the United States is probably going with the bandwagon.  The internet is full of good stuff and it is full of a bunch of crud.  The internet is great for business, keeping up with friends, being entertained, and learning something new, but it is starting to be full of garbage as well. The internet might have to revert back to it's primitive days when it was used mainly for work and school, and not as much as a medium for entertainment and shooting your mouth off, as I am doing right now.  There are a lot of intelligent things on the web, but it is starting to get idiotic as well.
