You really have to go issue by issue. The constitution was written back when we were an agrarian economy and knew it couldn't foresee everything, hence its flexibility.It's frightening to read a thread like this. Almost every poster arguing in favor of MORE government power. My own views have changed quite a bit over the last few years. We should be arguing against government. The goal is for government to have as little power as possible. Someone quoted the 10th Amendment. The constitution and its intents have long been thrown away and forgotten. For many aspects of our country today, it's almost as if it never existed.
You want the government to have as little influence as possible, except when less influence creates MORE problems. Environmental protection or food regulation are pretty obvious examples of this. The government only got more involved because left to private industry, rivers were so polluted they were caching fire and people were getting rat meat in their food.
The thing about power is it flows SOMEWHERE. If not to the government, then to private corporations. Sometimes the government is worse, sometimes industry is worse. Again, it's issue by issue. How corrupt the government is, how much competition there is in the market, past history of industry abuse, etc. all come into play.
For Net Neutrality, I think most people are in favor of the principle. It's obvious to anyone paying attention that as large as ISPs have become, they'll abuse their power even further, given the chance. It's already anti-competitive now (seriously, compare internet prices to Europe sometime, especially cheaper options), and there's an ever-present pressure to exploit the situation even more. Where the debate is (or where it should be anyway), is are the "solutions" proposed by our current government actually going to fix the problem or will it just create more of a mess? The industry isn't going to regulate itself, but government may be so bought that it probably won't implement anything helpful either. It's very much a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario.
