John McCain on Net Neutrality: Who the Hell Cares?!

http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/174221/mccain_moves_to_block_fcc_net_neutrality.html

(Anyone who listens to John McCain’s input on technology gets what they deserves.) The real irony of the whole matter is contrasting McCain’s view on net neutrality with the following quote (from his 1999 candidacy speech): “The blessings of technology give us the means to breach the walls of ignorance and isolation. We [can reach] our founding ideal that all men are created equal by giving all Americans access to information and knowledge, and an equal opportunity not only to pursue, but to attain happiness. Education is the great equalizer and used wisely, the information revolution will hasten the end of a two-tiered society of haves and have nots, and advance human freedom into the even the darkest corners of tyranny.”
