Wasn't sure where this should go, but this thread seems like a good place. I declare class war on Paul Hewitt. Don't fret Rush Limbaugh, I'm not punishing him for his success - but his lack of it. Surely there must be rich people who are grossly overpaid. Hewitt is Exhibit A.

Lack of success???

Coach Hewitt has won more games against the A-10 in the past two seasons than any other two season in Mason's history.

Better extend that contract Brad.

Breaking my silence on this...I think Jollay's point was that it has not been made available to the public yet.

From the Washington Post:

"The final version of Thursday’s order has yet to be made public, and may not be for weeks. After voting yesterday, a majority of FCC Commissioners also voted to leave the order open for further editorial changes, a signal that the document voted on wasn’t actually finished."

So, you are for something that you can't even see yet. It hasn't even been finished yet. This is taking pass it so you can see what's in it to a whole new level.

The devil is always in the details, but the three principles the FCC is working from seem right to me: transparency, openness and nondiscrimination.

The question is, what about the old regulations do those opposed to this action do you like? Question two is, who has innovated the internet more the ISPs (Comcast, AT&T, Verizon) or the content providers (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Netflix)?

What about this has been open and transparent? The fact that 300 pages of regulations have not been completed yet, already passed and still not available to the public is the very opposite of transparent and open. And, I can guarantee you some group will be discriminated against by whatever comes out. That is the very nature of regulation. It is just a question of whether it is the groups you care about or not.

I am against all "one size fits all" solutions. I don't understand why those who claim to do these things in the public interest insist on forcing these things upon people who don't want it. We don't force you guys to use things that are unregulated in any manner. If you want to use something that is regulated to the hilt, go right ahead. I don't want that. I am fine with the regulation that the market provides. I can count at least 6 options I have for internet access at my house. That is without even trying hard.

One of those options would be a leased line. Guess what, that is already regulated under Title II. If you want that kind of regulation and the cost that goes with it, go right ahead. I prefer what I get out of my cable provider. Why must I be forced to use an over regulated option as well?

Obviously, we have gotten off topic for this thread. This is a basketball forum after all. So.... I will get this thread back on topic.

Saying "illegals" in a statement is not racist!
Saying "ILLEGALS" in a statement is NOT racist!
Saying "illegal immigrants" in a statement is not racist!
Saying "ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS" in a statement is NOT racist!
Saying "not" in a statement is not racist!
Saying "NOT" in a statement is NOT racist!

I do wonder how the Storm Twitter stuff found its way to this thread (and the subsequent argument over immigration policy and free speech) and how we got to arguing over FCC regulations...
