    Isn't it apparent to everyone that allowing providers to charge more 
for better service will end up creating a system where money talks.
That is, where those who have more money have more influence, more 
access, and hold more sway over the public discourse. What I'm
saying is that it is disingenuous to ignore the fact that breaking net 
neutrality will de facto bring about the same kind of mess we have with 
elections and legislation and even compound it.

    I remember living in Thatcher's Britain; it was so clear that she 
was just the glove the monied interests wore.
