The Wall Street control bill Obama/Peolosi/Reid want to pass will allow the feds to takeover control of the internet in any way they see fit as they interpret it "if it harms consumers." So they can prevent even postings such as this, or this whole forum, or they can impose taxes or fees on interactions, etc. It's all part of their master plan, and it reminds me strongly of the Day-By-Day Cartoon of yesterday (see below).

Why does the Wall Street regulation overhaul give FTC authority over the Internet?

Earlier this week, the Washington Post reported on another little Easter egg in a bill cruising through Congress that would normally have followed Nancy Pelosi’s policy of discovery ex post facto. Democrats have pushed hard to get the financial-regulation reform bill unstuck in the Senate, mainly playing on class-warfare themes in painting the GOP as the party of eeeeeeevil Wall Street robber barons. However, the House version of the bill contains provisions that would put the Federal Trade Commission in position to start issuing rules on Internet transactions that would not only slow down business growth but also have no relevance at all to the financial collapse that prompted the bill:
. . . .
This has become a pattern with this Congress and administration. Despite having large majorities in both chambers, Democrats refuse to use the legislative path to pass regulation — mainly because the regulations they want are too radical to pass. Instead, they shift the creation of regulation to agencies like the EPA and its “endangerment” finding for CO2, which would then require Congress and the President to undo rather than vote to impose in the first place.
