The federal government is on the verge of turning over a huge portion of our public airwaves to companies like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast—who will use them for private gain instead of the public good.
These newly available airwaves are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to revolutionize Internet access—beaming high-speed Internet signals to every park bench, coffee shop, workplace, and home in America at more affordable prices than current Internet service. Phone and cable companies don't want this competition to their Internet service—they'd rather purchase the airwaves at auction and sit on them.1
In June, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will make a major decision: Use the public airwaves for the public good, or turn them over to big companies who will stifle competition, innovation, and the wireless Internet revolution.

In a way you were right the first time. We have had our fingers in everyone's pie for decades to the point where it has caused destabilizations in a lot of countries, and this has happened for years. America didn't get its wealth, sense of safety and resources in a vacuum you know? The price was a lot of people had to die, and a lot of countries had to fall in one form or another, or have their leaders removed in place of someone WE felt okay with in order for the USA and Europe to be enjoying its current day time in the sun.
Out of all the countries in the world the people of the Unites States seem to be clueless regarding our involvement in the Worlds affairs past and present.
