Elfmentor, or whatever your name is, do you have any real argument in any of this? More childish name calling. Is that really the best you can do? Rather sad I think. Putting your text in red doesn't make your thoughts more meaningful. Better? When you say things like, "No corporation could achieve the status quo without government support through agencies like the FCC", that only proves MY point. The FCC has enabled the status quo. That's exactly what I said. Yet you want to give more money to the very same organization that caused the problem in the first place. Do you not see the irony in that? I also said that scrapping the FCC will then give the status quo even more power because there isn't going to be ANY check against them at all. I argue the criminal and civil courts along with the power of free people making voluntary choices are a far better deterrent to that which you so abhor. More central planning is rarely the answer. That doesn't mean "I want a King" or "throw more money at the problem". It means, "Appoint someone as head of the FCC who will actually do the job that the FCC is supposed to do, which is to stand up to the largest media conglomerates." First, I seriously doubt that is the FCC's mandate. Secondly, even if it was, I argue your faith in big government solutions is misplaced.
That isn't "more of the same". That's exactly the opposite of "more of the same".
It's like how Teabaggers say that the EPA destroys jobs. It doesn't, and what the fuck does anyone think will happen without the EPA? We'd all be drinking toxic sludge within a year because corporations would cut costs by dumping their waste directly into our water supplies. Captain Hyperbole strikes again!!! Don't say that they wouldn't because they did it all the time and that's why the EPA had to be created. The FCC is supposed to work that way with media, but they haven't which is what has led to the consolidation of media ownership.
And don't ever say anything bad about marijuana since you don't know anything about Cannabis.]
Actually, I know plenty about Cannabis and fully support your right to smoke your mind into oblivion. Rock on dude.
