Hate crime enhancements at sentencing, land grabs by eminent domain, 
affirmative action programs, reparations for the alleged misdeeds of 
ancestors long since dead, and soon government mandated health 
insurance. All things that add to government control. After 200 + years 
of existence one would think there might be very little left for 
legislators to legislate, but that is obviously not the case. The US 
government looks out for itself and swells like a bloated pig with each 
new administration. Government control, in the form of net neutrality 
regulation, may be a very good thing if properly implemented, but blind 
trust that it would be fairly and openly administered by an agency like 
the FCC and not just used as another means to access power and control 
seems potentially naive.
