Don't think it can't happen. Don't sit there and change channels. Don't put it out of your mind, and for goodness sakes, don't procrastinate.
As soon as you are through reading this post, go to SaveTheInternet.com and sign a petition to your Congressperson and Senator, letting them know in no uncertain terms that you, like every sane person in the world, are vehemently opposed to new legislation that would allow big companies like AT&T, Comcast, Yahoo, Amazon, and others to dictate the speed at which you are allowed to use different sites on the internet. Kate at Accidental Hedonist does her usual great work detailing some examples that affect everyone.
Folks, we cannot allow this to happen. CANNOT. MUST NOT.
I actually bothered everyone in my address book with this one. PLEASE go sign the petition and bug everyone in your address book, too.
Today the internet is without food blogs. Today is a big deal. Go now.

Thanks for visiting.
The exbf told me about this. My reaction: isn't this what Enron did with California's electricity?
Best of luck with the petition. Hope sane minds win the day.
