So your proposal to fight one of the biggest lobbying forces in the world [http://www.freepress.net/node/62059] is to demand that everything just be fixed all at once? You are out of your mind.

Yeah, who would ever do something that crazy? It would be like demanding automakers build safe cars or telling the tobacco industry not to market their product to children.

Both those examples had a nice emotional component to them: automobile deaths and cancer patients. Try showing someone the harm of non-neutral networks without resorting to hypothetical situations or abstracts. I don't mean someone on HN, I mean the "average Joe" voter.
