Blog no more?

Friends and fellow bloggers...how would you feel if we were no longer able to access one another's blogs, read about our friends, get inspiration from their projects, ooh and ahhh over their children?? That's what some people want. This website tells more in detail, but basically big internet providers like Verizon, AT&T, etc are busy throwing money at Congress right now to get the previously unregulated "Net Neutrality" act passed into law...only giving THEM the say so in what we can access, what videos we can download, tacking on fees to "help" our computers download sites quicker (if we don't pay, they may not load at all!). Right now, any person with a computer can set up a site and dream big. If these big companies get their wish, only those with enough capital to buy a spot among these big dogs will be able to accomplish anything. Think about a 'net without Ebay (which started small)...think about your own selling ventures online-do you want to compete pricing against AT&T? And why should we? Please, visit the site link and sign the petition. Let's keep the internet the way it is.
