The Ayn Rand Institute just put out a post against the recent increase in activity by those who want net neutrality. It can be read over at the Objectivist Standard.

“‘Net neutrality’ is the idea that ISPs should not be able to favor some types of data over others; they must be ‘neutral’ toward all the data they carry. But just as cable companies have a right to apportion their bandwidth between Internet and television data, so Internet providers have a right to apportion their bandwidth between standard and premium Internet data.”

As I reported earlier, Yaron Brook was interviewed on the Dennis Miller show on Tuesday, May 22nd. The podcast of the show is available for free here on the show’s website. You can also listen to the show through the website without downloading it. If you jump ahead somewhere around 1:10 you’ll catch some opening Ayn Rand quotes from Dennis Miller, and Brook comes on sometime after that.

Rather than starting on politics or the war, Miller asked a few opening questions about Objectivism itself. Afterwards the conversation moved on to talk about the war, and Brook explained that the war was against Islamic totalitarianism, not terrorism, and that Bush has fumbled it all. Miller defended Bush’s actions, openly admitting that he was a little more “pragmatic” about it.

Unfortunately, Miller’s comments took over the last part of the interview, taking away time that I would have preferred to be spent allowing Brook to speak. Still, it was a good opportunity for Brook to give some good ideas to those that would listen, and he took advantage of it.

Yaron Brook is going to be on the Dennis Miller show tomorrow (5/22) around 11:15 a.m. central time. I don’t think any radio stations in the Kansas City area carry the show, but luckily the show’s podcast is available for free. According to the show’s website, the show should be available for download here around 1:30.
