An Empty Plate (Save The Internet)

You might have noticed several food bloggers aren't writing about food today.  We're writing about something else that's equally dear to us:  the Internet.

In this vast arena of everything, we can find anything, something, or nothing at all.  It's a lovely place.  So what's the deal you ask?  Well, today is Save the Internet Day.  And today is a day of without food blogs.

Pim, of Chez Pim sent a post on Food Blog S'Cool last Friday noting a rather alarming  law before Congress which would  violate the principle of Network Neutrality -- call this the Internet's First Amendment.  This new law would allow corporations and big telecommunications companies to decide what sort of web site service you get -- depending on how big your paycheck is; want to check out a commercial site where the owner paid them millions?  Fast speed.  Want to check out a little blog or some other grass roots website who couldn't afford to pay the new pricing scheme? -- well,  remember 14.4K modems?   

Pim says it much better and much more eloquently here.
