It would be nice if we didn't have to make trade offs in the real world, but we do.
Not to be political about it, but I will point out that objecting to the government regulating campaign financing and objecting to the government regulating the internet ( net neutrality is all about the government regulating the internet) seem to me to be fairly consistent stands.

I had a feeling you were going to try to equate lack of choice to living in a "rural county". It would be one thing if that were actually the case...unfortunately, I live in Hartford County, CT...not exactly a "rural county" Saying that "it's only an option if you choose it to be" is saying that everyone in the country should live in a BIG city, and if they don't, then they deserve not to have basic services. Do you truly believe that?
Are you really, truly, that much of an elitist?
