I don't know what you mean by @Home's place. Just like NSCP AOL wants to level the playing field by getting government protection. You pay the government the protection money so that your monopoly is protected. Nothing unusual about that. It's what the universities brainwash people into believing is in the public interest. Don't you want to be protected from the greed and evil of the capitalist pigs? Without that long tradition we would all be wealthy and then there wouldn't be haves vs havenots. It is those opposing forces that create the Hegelian dynamism and the advancement of society. Like the endless failure in Euclidean geometry to prove two parallel lines never meet from the axioms, so Marx could never prove that capitalism must evolve to socialism. The dynamism of opposites always renews itself, else you have stagnation and eventual demise as the Soviet Union painfully proved. AOL's attempt to maintain the status quo will blow up in their faces. They are inadvertently creating a dynamism where none actually exists. This is the mindless fear reaction. ATHM can only benefit because it opens the AOL addicts to the possibility of engaging a superior service, but those opting for ATHM won't go back down to $10 33.6. It isn't worth it.
