Certainly not humor. I've met with my republican legislators (well, met with staffers at one, called others) - their official position really is that Net Neutrality is BigGovernment(tm) and they need to get rid of it to protect the little guy.

The problem is that it is working. It drives me up a wall to try to explain this to nontechnical conservatives. They actually think that this is a good thing that will increase the amount of liberty they have in their lives.

Freedom for ISPs, right? And for enterprises to buy preferential connectivity. For the rest of us, not so much :(
