Yeah, that's the thing. It's not hard to turn right & left against each other, then the lobbyists profit off of that. Just had to get each side to want to use the problem for their own political ends and divide us over how to address it.

But I think we should try to remember and go back to the fact that essentially nobody likes what the ISPs want to do at all. If we could find a more agreeable way to address it and not let it get twisted to further other agendas, I think most people could agree that it needs to be stopped.

The lesson I've learned is that this is no longer the world for the open exchange of ideas. Mostly because people are already waiting to subvert your arguments.

This is dealt with by PR, advertising and focus groups.
