Yes, except schizophrenic "people" and obsessed w/ making a profit at any cost with no remorse and not being punishable for any crimes committed.
They are not "people" and, even if they were, would be people that should be locked up in an mental asylum or prison, not given free rein to "vote" with an endless supply of money as "free speech".
Hmmm. Ultra rich schizophrens with endless money and no repercussions for anything they do. Neat. |

Hope and fail? So it's Mitt or Hope and Change? ... If this is Hope and Change, maybe we should give Mitt a try. |

Re: bull shit Since the US government IS a corporation since the end of the civil war I would say you are spot on. |

Re: Hope and fail? lol wut.
Mitt is an obvious corporate apologist as he is famously quoted, "Corporations are people my friend."
He would approve caps/overages or whatever "benefits" the corporations obtain so that they will "trickle down" to the consumers.
If anything, Karl and user Facetious are simply reminding everyone that our telecom industry needs more regulation, not deregulation.
Day by day, year by year, the USA continues to fall further behind in Internet speeds at affordable prices. Instead, money used to improve infrastructure is thrown at propaganda and lobbying to tell people that our Internet structure, even though it's the furthest away from the truth.
Money = free speech. A sad reality of the times. |

Re: bull shit +1
This guy is an outright asshole !!!
It would not surprise me one bit to watch this government fall within the next 5 -15 years.It is obviously totally corrupt and it is so obvious that Millions of people are pissed off and probably more than ever seen before.Little by little even Mr. & Mrs. Normal are waking up to that fact.
Politicians do not Represent anyone but themselves and their Wallet !!! |

your comment brings to mind the extremely excellent documentary The Corporation (www.thecorporation.com) which psychoanalyzes the actions of corporations, and determines that if they indeed are people, then they are sociopaths, which, under normal circumstances would be prevented from making the destructive actions they regularly commit by society at large.
it's worth a watch for anyone interested in this topic. |

Hope and change has turned to despair and fail. The most open government ever is now the most closed. Gitmo isn't closed. The bi-partisan hope and change President is now the most partisan.
FCC members regularly run away to those they regulated (I think this happened recently with an Obama appointee).
Mitt can't run things worse than they are now.
As to regulation, no, what the industry needs is competition, a lot of it.

There was Ron Paul, but no one wanted to vote him in so we could actually fix these issues, otherwise there's his son Rand Paul and many other new people coming in.

but don't you know, "corporations are people" in the eyes of the US government. Mitt Romney said so. Messiah Obama is his boss. Not Romney. Study your government set up. |

Since when did the Republicans care about people's rights?
It's so obvious they don't especially for the middle class and minorities. |

Re: bull shit I'll give it to you that Ron Paul would make a very good foreign policy advisor.
Everything else though is crazy due to the neoliberalism and philosophies of the 'invisible hand" which serves to mean deregulation.
I never realized the preachings of Ayn Rand were so popular until Ron Paul came along.
The telecoms got their deregulation in 1996 in exchange for promises for more competition. What resulted was mass cannibalism of once the former AT&T formed back together what is today.
Essentially, deregulation didn't promote competition; it promoted monopolies. |
