Not to mention, Comcast or whatever company you have can then (without Net Neutrality) choose to throttle speeds on websites they don't like, or don't agree with.
What category do you think this site falls under????

This would all be fine if there were more isp providers competing in the same area. Unfortunately the isps also support legislation against competition, like denying pole access and preventing municipal projects. See Comcast donating to Murray to kill the municipal gigabit internet project.

When I heard today that Seattle's income tax lost its battle in court, I was pissed. I wasn't pissed because the judge rule against it (in fact, that made me happy). I was pissed because of this: Douchebag #2 and Douchebag #3 wrote: Seattle Mayor Tim Burgess and City Attorney Pete Holmes said in a joint statement the city will appeal the ruling. Both called the state's tax system unfair because it relies too much on sales taxes and said the state needs to overhaul its tax structure to make the system more equitable.
"We need more progressive tax sources, not fewer," Burgess and Holmes said in the joint statement. "The Seattle income tax was an attempt to move toward this goal, and we are hopeful that it will be upheld on appeal." Read more here: http://www.thenewstribune.com/news/busi ... rylink=cpyIsn't it the city attorney's job to determine whether a law is legal, and defend it on that basis? Well, there's not one word here about how the income tax is LEGAL -- they don't seem to care about that -- just about how they think such a tax is more fair than the current system. We talk about "activist judges" . . . well, not we have an "activist city attorney." Again. Just like when he defended Seattle's gun and ammo tax. Douchebag #1, activist state attorney general Bob Ferguson, is apparently setting a fine example.

Quite another to do so at the tax payers expense. Absolutely disgusting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Part 1 Received a Chilton's repair manual for the Cherokee. They sent the wrong year. I emailed them of the problem. Part 2 Next day - apology, refund and told to keep the one they sent. One day later I find the manual I wanted for less money, shipped! (I guess part 2 belongs in What Made Your Day? )

Stupid fuckers with their "service" dogs in the shopping cart. And what is it with old men that suddenly get in touch with their feelings and have to have little farcking yappydogs and talk to them in whiney singsongy girly voices as if the dogs were children?
