I'm against any and all of the "support the" "ribbons" that ppl put on the back of their cars. The main reason is because the people who make them knows that they can't fit vertically on cars so they have to put them horizontally. Putting them horizontally then basically makes them 'jesus fish'. Making it just another religious bunch of crap that people don't realize or ignore that it is the fact.

Terroriest is not the #1 enemy of the country. The overal evil in the lives of every American is AFTand NEA who spout false information and fight against laws that would improve education. They keep polictians in their pocket with treats of lost votes to repel laws for School Vouchers. Having the choice to pick your childs goverment (public for the media masses) school is the real solution not increase money to school spending. Goverment school has a monopoly greater then most. Since it's the law to force children to goto goverment school (public) unless their parents choose go an alternative route (private, home school). There is a reason why the "rich" send their kids to private schools. The fact that they HAVE to have good teachers and work ethic's to entice parents to send their children to them so they could recieve money. While goverment schools get money weither or not your child does well and get your money from property tax. If goverment schools had competition for children (and funding for those children) they would put education on the top of their list. Bad Education = No money. Teachers union's are against this because this would force them to teach everyone the best information for them instead of enough to not have a high failure rating. On average it cost around $13,000 to educate a goverment school student, when for the same amount you oculd fund 2 private school students and get better results. There are no proven studies increase funding would better educate the students.

Network neutrality is the principle that some form of Common Carrier regulations should be applied to all Internet access networks. The term was coined by Columbia Law School professor Tim Wu to support an open access theory of network regulation. According to this view, the Internet access networks, having received valuable public right of way should not be allowed to operate without open access because owners might discriminate among Internet services and make excessive profits. Network neutrality is closely tied to the idea that the Internet should not be controlled by the interent access provider. However, ISPs would argue that they are not denying any access, only exercising their First Amendment right not to be compelled to carry others' speech. Therefore, network neutrality can mean many different things depending on how the term is cast.
Network neutrality has been expanded by others into a general theory of network operational architecture. It means that the network is operated under the three principles of neutrality: non-discrimination, interconnection, and access. The principles can apply to any network, but are generally ascribed to the Internet. They govern the operation of the network, not the content or business practices of the network operator. Inherent in the definition is that network operations are distinct from the content side. Network neutrality is one way to describe the operational architecture of the global Internet. Nearly every nation operating a portion of the Internet, often by default, has adopted some form of the neutrality principle, depending on its definition.
"Network neutrality" is a term used in legal and political theory, not in network engineering; it is not used in any of the 4500+ design documents (Requests for Comments or RFCs) that describe the Internet's architecture and operation. The closest analogy in network engineering may be the concept of transparency, a design goal that is met when the network delivers messages without delay, jitter, loss, and reordering. No packet-switched network is truly transparent, as the basic service model in packet networks depends on resource contention, congestion reduction, and queuing. Circuit-switched telecommunications networks are highly transparent as distortion is minimized by isochronous access methods and hop-by-hop error recovery. Packet networks apply a number of different methods of queue management and packet forwarding, some of them quite sophisticated and each "discriminatory" in some way. Circuit-switched networks avoid queuing by pre-allocating communication resources for each call in progress.
