Cruzin' the internet.

I don’t get it.  I don’t get why the people that live in the majority of political standpoints lying between the extremes sit back and let the crazies dominate the airwaves.  I never see a headline on CNN where one side says “I like ‘A,’ it’s great” where I don’t see something right below it saying “Not only is ‘A’ bad, that guy is an idiot for even kinda liking it!” So Obama finally comes out in favor of making internet a utility.  Which it should be.   Immediately below that is Ted Cruz saying that Net Neutrality is Obamacare for the internet.   I don’t get it.   The only motivation for Cruz to be against it is to be against it.  Or, perhaps, that he gets a ton of funds from corporations that want it to be not a utility.  In 2014 are we saying that internet shouldn’t be as much of a right as water, gas, electric, etc?   Hell, phone is a utility, right?  How is that fundamentally different than internet?  It’s not.  You can make arguments, say that the infrastructure and tech is what you’re paying for, but that’s stupid.  Phone, electricity…same shit, just 75 years earlier. I don’t…
