 What an astonishing load of self-serving claptrap.
 
 There were no gun laws before guns.
 
 There were no telephone regulations before there were telephones.
 
 The "net neutraility" laws came about *because of* only- recently started
 efforts by major ISP's to throttle the free internet. Pretending otherwise
 is to pretend we never needed US Marshalls in the old west - why should the
 government interfere with cattle ranchers and gunmen? It was perfectly fine
 before.
