Scott Belbey

It's Ridiculous I have to even Worry about this.

Does everything have to be stamped, indexed, filed, and regulated; don't all of you have enough ways to annoy us? My name is Scott Belbey. I'm 33 years old. I'm a blogger, a Libertarian, and I also have an advanced case of Multiple Sclerosis. I'd rather not have to deal with limitations imposed by corporations pertaining to what I can and cannot access on the Internet. I think I've got enough limitations these days.

What are we talking about, exactly? Communication companies can already profit off our use of the Internet, because we pay for the keys to the city every time we pay the cable or phone bill. Now they want the freedom to tell us what sites we can and cannot have access to, based entirely on what service we can afford? Wasn't this a free country, or do I have to pay more for that too?

To Hell with it, have fun and do what you want. Let the corporations have the freedom to make additional profit off of a resource they were not responsible for creating in the first place. Who cares if it hinders our freedom to seek knowledge for ourselves? Who cares if it sets the stage for further discrimination against the middle and lower classes?

Maybe Capitalist should be changed to Elitist?

When America was called the land of opportunity, maybe we should have put a disclaimer down to let everybody know how fragile our opportunities really were?

Thanks for whoever is responsible for stressing me out.
