The job of government is to decide based on the facts and the record in a media-saturated era when issues are advocated in apocalyptic terms. One day demonstrators at my home kept me from leaving my driveway with a huge banner saying “Free the Internet.” About a hundred feet from the driveway a stop sign (and multiple others in the neighborhood) has affixed to it a sticker causing it to say “STOP Wheeler from braking [sic] the Internet.” If only choices in the real world were as simple as those opposing positions.
