I'm not sure what 'Net Neutrality' means, but I find it vaguely disturbing.

Oh great! This could be the hearing at which we start to hear how bad it is to have free-range political opinions floating around the web and how damaging it is to 'real 'muricans' to let them libruls out of their pens and out into the world. I am apprehensive about this one. Or it could be about the planned corporate take-over of the web by the telecom companies and their desire to use the web to just 'sell us stuff.' Either way, I am kind of scared of this one.
