Net Neutrality

How much can we take? Big business is controlling just about every thing we see and hear on the TV, Radio and read in the Newspaper, now they are going after the only source we can use to find the real answers our INTERNET. If you have never been to a foreign Country you have not been exposed to the infringement on this right, Some Countries restrict certain sites that are thought to be not suitable to their beliefs. The Companies that are now trying to and lobbying to control our Internet are winning and our Leaders are letting them do it. In the very near future unless you get involve your internet will be controlled not only by access but also content. I ask you who are they to say where and when I get to visit a place on the internet. I am not saying that I condone any websites I am just saying I should have a choice to visit any site I chose as an American. We need to wake up and get involved and to be honest I feel lost and abandoned by the people that we expected to protect our rights.

Stuck in the Box

Each day we go through life in our own little box. We really don't keep informed on matters that will affect our children or our grandchildren. Until recently I considered myself as one of you. Today if seems like I have had an awakening and people I really don't like what I see. Our Country is out of control we are paying as much as $3 per gallon for gas, our food and basic cost of living has our Grand Parents making choices on whether to buy groceries or buy medicine. I know we hear about how much petroleum is in Europe and have been called spoiled because we are paying less, but these Countries that have those prices have National Healthcare and we don’t. By the way a gallon of gas in Kuwait cost 78 cents. Why have our leaders letting Big business control our economy? We have larger Companies buying all of the small companies or some call it a merger. I live in a City that has one convenient store chain that operates at least 21 stores. What is amazing is you can drive 38 miles to a city within the same state and gas is 20 cents cheaper per gallon. The Convenient store chain controls the price in our city, if they go up in price the other convenient stores will go up to within 1 cent of their price. We call this price fixing they call it competitive pricing.
