Re: Two mouth holes. Guess where the other one is..

Actually I was responding to TK's very general statement that all government regulation is inherently bad. That is simply not true and I chose two of many examples to highlight that.

The internet is certainly a more complex issue. And while I agree the internet has a large business component it is also utilized for educational, government and military functions as well.

I don't particularly like the notion of the internet being regulated by the same people who think it's a series of tubes (although there are some people in congress smarter than that guy); But neither do I want corporations (whose only legal obligation is to shareholders) to regulate my usage either.

military functions as well.
The DoD has their own private internet, they can't afford to have their internets held up by sticky tubes.
