It has come to my attention that John McCain has introduced a bill to block net neutrality. Yes, John “I can’t use a computer” McCain. The bill is designed to “prohibit the Federal Communications Commission from further regulating the Internet.” So, he wants to stop the FCC from regulating the Internet. This is of course, John “Champion of Regulation” McCain we are talking about here. I suppose it is likely for someone to confuse net neutrality (a policy to ensure very little Internet regulation) with Internet regulation, especially someone who doesn’t know anything about computers. What is even more likely is that McCain is only introducing the bill to satisfy his paymasters. In the course of 10-15 years, McCain has transformed himself from a semi-respectable senator to an empty suit.

The 2009 Human Development Rankings were released recently. The US is placed 13th on the latest rankings. Though, we were also placed 26th on the Life expectancy list. While it is the case that 13th or 26th on lists such as these is not that bad, I would argue that it isn’t quite good enough. At the very least, it reveals that there is clearly room for improvement of the American system. I would suppose our low ranking in the life expectancy list has something to do with the lack of health care. Whats even worse is that these health care companies have a complete disregard for human life. To add insult to injury, some health care companies even sue entire states.
