Ron Paul takes a moment to talk about the Internet. I depend on the Internet for day-to-day tasks, and all of my peers do too. I hope that Ron Paul doesn’t oppose any form of net neutrality regulation. It’s possible that collusion needs to be actively prevented - I’m not sure US utilities companies have proven that they can responsibly deliver the best service at the best rates.

On the one hand, I strongly support a separation of Internet and Government. On the other hand, I do think the Internet must be tended and cultivated. The ultimate fear is FCC-style regulations that limit the ability of individuals to publish online.

    He does not support net neutrality ( I was saddened to hear).

    I have to do more research on this, however. Why?

    Because like his pro-life stance (personally am 'pro choice', btw), it may
    be palatable because he simply wants to get the Feds OUT of it, *NOT*
    have the Feds manage/regulate it.

    It gets into a larger discussion: how is infrastructure managed? including
    internet infrastructure?
