Crawford and Lessig Op-Ed on Google/Verizon -- and how language matters http://bit.ly/cyEsmH (Mercury News) - - - Lauren's note: I am unconvinced that the debate on these important issues is advanced in a useful and positive way by the use of loaded language such as (in the op-ed noted above): "Don't let these giant galoots shaking hands in the corner distract you -- you [FCC] have a job to do." I personally find that rhetoric to be offensive and counterproductive, and I'd strongly urge that all parties who are critical of aspects included in the Google/Verizon plan try to minimize the sort of name-calling and emotionalism that has already decimated our political environment. --Lauren-- NNSquad Moderator
