aah.....ok.....I am somewhat dense on the issue. I've been nosing around it seems that there are private companies, the ones that sell internet access to folks like you and I, who set up barriers to the websites of their competitors and/or possibly, to websites pushing ideas to which they are opposed. The 'net neutrality folks want this stopped, and just to show how frikkin gol'danged dumb they are,
they want the government, which is ALWAYS PARTISAN, one way or the other on EVERYTHING, to ensure non-partisanship. Funny thing that.... So you're spot-on about the government getting involved will morph this into a different issue.....what a world.
