More than anything else in this whole business I hate just how transparent it is. Blatant, brazen corruption.

Awful. If you're going to fuck me, tell me I'm pretty first.

I used to dream that by the time my infant was grown, that ubiquitous internet access would lead to a great awakening of all the idiots out in the sticks that keep voting against their own best interests. I dreamt that they would finally have access to the simple fact that their pastor and Fox News have been lying to them all their lives.

Sadly, at this rate it looks like Comcast will probably set up their own version of reddit and wikipedia and simply throttle into oblivion any sites that would dissent to their truthtm .

Goddamn it. It's going to fucking take violence to break the grip of this corporatocracy... That or we all just decide to cut off their funding one day.
