Josh Silver: Google-Verizon Deal: The End of The Internet as We Know It

So the Google-Verizon deal can be summed up as this: "FCC, you have no authority over us and you're not going to do anything about it. Congress, we own you, and we'll get whatever legislation we want. And American people, you can't stop us.

This is yet another example of how the American people have given away their right to self rule. Through our repeated inaction and lack of education and will we have allowed Big Business to take over our lives and force us into submission. The ONLY way we can take power back is to continually speak out to our friends, representatives, the media, our blogs. All the big companies care about is MONEY, not our well being. So when you read, "Bank of America is looking out for you" or "Google won't be Evil" or "Verizon makes life Better". It's all BS. They are making life better for their top management. They do not give a whiff for the common man.
