This is a fairly - no, VERY important current even that will have a large effect on ALL of us. If the idiots in congress allow net neutrality to die, you can ALL say goodbye to any and all free websites on the internet (like forums, myspace, hobby related websites, etc.) and say hello to paying for what can basically be described as a subscription to websites such as ebay, google, etc.
I've been lightly following it recently, but it has become a bigger and more important issue in the past few weeks... If this goes through, the rest of the world is going to be developing faster and much more capable neutral networks and the united states will fall behind in yet another very important technological field. We will end up with a second rate and near useless commercial, corporate controlled network.
If you don't really understand what net neutrality means and how it could effect you, read the following article:

If you can, write your local congressman telling them how important network neutrality is to the future of the country and our quality of life. Remember, we elected these idiots in to power, don't let them listen to the corporate dollar over the people who gave them a job.
