Heads-a-spinning

I can't believe how painful it can be to read my daily mail. From Net Neutrality to cap and tax, to healthScare, to birth certificates, to education...where will it all end, if ever?

I have been against the concept of so-called net neutrality from the get-go. I figured it was just another way for the government to take over the internet, to control it, to tax it, and ultimately, to destroy it. Now, I know that sounds a bit strong, but if it can be taxed, and isn't, the fed's out there trying to figure a way to do so. And once they get a nose under the flap, it's all over. Take the department of energy, for instance. How's that worked out for us? I copied this handy little quote from Andrew Jay Schwartzman, president and CEO of Media Access Project, a media reform and digital rights group, regarding Net Neutrality: "This is a down payment on creating a digital democracy."...my emphasis. Then I see John McCain has come out against Net Neutrality, too. Well, that just blew my mind. Can't believe McCain is on my side, for a change. Either that, or I'm missing something.

Now, I understand HO declared an emergency this weekend, because of the H1N1 virus. This gives the feds, under Sebelius, authority to bypass any rules, laws and/or regulations, regarding implementing and getting this new vaccine to market. I saw this on Dr. Joe Mercola's website. There was also news of how CBS, if you can believe this, did an investigative report on the swine flu outbreak, and according to the CBS report, which took about three months to compile, and that was without any help from the CDC, downright debunks the need for any emergency. Apparently, there have not been 1000 deaths caused by H1N1. And, according to Dr. Mercola, even that would be no reason to declare an emergency. He said hospital-acquired infections kill 90,000 people in the US every year, and no body has declared an emergency for that. Because there's not a vaccine being developed that big pharma can make $7 billion on. Just more scare tactics from HO and the WH.

Hey. How about that Doug Hoffman? NY 23. Go Doug.

Come on 2010.
