Today is your last chance to leave your comments on net neutrality comments as the deadline approaches.

Hopping on my soapbox for a minute, I am concerned about our government’s inability to do anything with tech. Remember when they wanted everyone to sign up for health care? Remember almost anytime, any politician anywhere has tried to discuss tech? Al Gore invented the internet?

There is a generation gap here that I have watched since I have been in computers; about 20 years now. From ages 10 to about 40 you find tech savvy people. Once you hit 50 and continue each generation you get to people who don’t even want to use it. That will change, just not now and many of the laws being passed are being done so by politician’s, many of whom are too old to understand what they are doing.

I hate discussing politics but we’re not talking Republican, Democrat, Independent or anything else here. We’re talking about watching the people who are now watching us and salvaging what little privacy we have left. We all know that these laws don’t get simply passed. No, usually they are long documents with a lot of little things slipped in there and a quick skim of the document shows a lot of possible loopholes that can placed in there.

Paranoid? You betcha!

You can leave a comment here if and when the website is up. As mentioned above, apparently they seem to be having trouble keeping it running as I write this. Rumors also exist that comments have gone missing in large numbers.
