Sheesh, I better start eating right and getting into shape.
Great reason why, when the politicians get involved, they help stifle the competition. Perfect example: ISPs.
If i want cable internet in my area i have 1 choice: Comcast. Why? because our local government has a deal with comcast to keep other companies out. I have two other options for internet here, which are DSL and telephone line. I'm screwed because the government is involved.
No government involvement = free market = allowance for competition to actually try. If i had any other option for cable internet i would ditch comcast faster than you can say "Eff you comcast"
