Please don't post inflamed political rants here. If you have a substantive point to make, please make it thoughtfully. Otherwise please don't comment here.

It is saddening to see the HN moderator being downvoted for requesting substantitive discussion. Why not just rename this site 'Left-wing Propoganda Hacker News' and get it over with ?

How is that not relevant, though? Are you the comment police or something?

I am, unfortunately.

Relevance isn't the only concern. When you send a message you probably don't want a response, however relevant, blasted through your window by bazooka.

Yes, you.

If you think Verizon, ATT, and Comcast don't look at all the money sloshing around the SV/SF tech scene with envious eyes then you're a fool.

They started with Netflix. They will proceed to squeeze the big players like Google. Soon the average startup will be forced to pay a per-ISP toll to reach that ISP's customers.
