*"I dont think we need laws to keep these thigns from happening... fresh perspectives are always a good thing and since businesses still dont have any legislative power their proposals are relatively harmless... when all is said and done the powers that be are the ones that make the rules. Not google or verizon or any other large corporation.  "

I guess our housing and banking debacles, that brought us to a depression,  are really not any harm....  etc... etc...

If you don't see that the powers that be..are the corporations... and special interest groups that fight for corporate interest by flooding the gates of our congressmen with money and other incentives and turning them against our interest...   then there is no point in arguing this any further... 
You trust and respect the status of corporate honesty and behavior...  okay...

I politely retreat from this debate,,  between two friends... ;)
