    “Can anybody point me to specific examples where the government took away people’s rights and civil liberties and it wasn’t good for those people?”. My god the implications of a non-neutral internet are obvious, we don’t need to take those rights away in a real-world study to prove it.

      Wait, rights? Civil liberties?

      I’m probably in favor of net neutrality legislation (I’m not 100% sold on the concept as the whole issue of monopolistic ISPs is a government created issue, so asking government to resolve it doesn’t necessarily work for me).

      But you completely lose me when you equate Internet access with civil liberties and rights. We have no more right to an Internet than we do to an ice cream stand on the corner.
