[VERISON should say...] this won't effect us at all

Until those hundreds of pages are made public, how can anyone possibly know if that if that is even a truthful statement? Furthermore, what they SAY they intend to do with that authority... and what they COULD possibly do with such authority in the not-too-distant future... might be frighteningly different.

FOR EXAMPLE... can I borrow your credit card? I'm just going to lock it in my safe and not use it until the next time we meet up again? (what I say I will do with it.. and what I COULD do with your credit card... could be frighteningly different!)

<sarcasm>But since we they did such a great job rolling out Obamacare with no "unintended consequences", I'm sure their promises and good intentions for their use of the authority over the packets moving across PRIVATELY-OWNED internet infrastructure... that they just voted themselves... will be just peachy, right?</sarcasm>

BTW - you should see my seashell collection... I keep it spread thoughout all the beaches of the entire world. Yesterday, I voted myself ownership over all of them.
