| pashdown | hello i'm back |

| -:- Topic (#pashdown): changed by pashdown: Chat is on! |
| dapper | wb pash |
|---|
| evan | hi pash |
|---|
| pashdown | Sorry about the delay, I went to the healthcare forum and didn't have a chance to speak. |
|---|
| -:- grantgrant [techmgr@quasar.xmission.com] has joined #pashdown |
| pashdown | It was interesting to me to see the Utah Health Insurance Alliance defend health insurance. |
|---|
| Web024 | What do you mean |
|---|
| pashdown | They were very good at defending their position, but left out the administrative costs of doctors battling insurance companies. |
|---|
| krtzen | did they talk about Dr. battling lawyers |
|---|
| pashdown | Also, I think the statement that we need to move to a single-payer system "now" is a bit like saying we need to move to a hydrogen economy "now". Easier said than done. |
|---|
| pashdown | Other panelists and speakers did mention the struggles in getting insurance companies to pay out. |
|---|
| pashdown | The cost of that struggle was lightly touched upon. |
|---|
| krtzen | Is there a set topic for tonight? |
|---|
| pashdown | Not currently, do you have a question you want to throw out? |
|---|
| krtzen | what is your view of what Politicains are going to do to the internet |
|---|
| pashdown | The major problem with politicians legislating the Internet is I have trouble pointing to a single one in the U.S. Congress that has the technical knowledge to do so. |
|---|
| * grantgrant/#pashdown agrees |
| pashdown | Therefore, they depend on lobbies to write legislation for them, which they push forward without understanding all the consequences. |
|---|
| krtzen | I agree how can we educate them |
|---|
| pashdown | I think its important to support the minority voice in lobbying. Groups like EFF.org and Downhill Battle. |
|---|
| krtzen | most people think AOL is the internet |
|---|
| pashdown | Yes, and I believe most politicians are on that line too. |
|---|
| pashdown | Much of my motivation in running stems from the thought that I have much to contribute in the areas of Internet and technology. |
|---|
| krtzen | I agree |
|---|
| pashdown | Senator Bennett also urged small business owners to run because the Congress is lacking in that perspective too. ;-) |
|---|
| pashdown | Its also bad for our economy to write bad technology legislation, because that will create pressures which move the market to other more friendly countries. |
|---|
| pashdown | Other questions? |
|---|
| pashdown | Sorry, I was late on the return. It looked like a good many people showed up on time. |
|---|
| pashdown | I'll wait for a bit before closing the chat, just in case there are other questions or late comers. |
|---|
| evan | how is the campaign going, overall? |
|---|
| dapper | when do we get the Ashdown for Senate lawn signs? |
|---|
| pashdown | Evan, what has been interesting to me is the overwhelming support I get. I've even had a few Republicans say, "I'm a Republican, but I'll vote for you." Which is very flattering. |
|---|
| evan | that's awesome. |
|---|
| pashdown | Dapper, I'm leaving town for a wedding in Minnesota from June 7th to 24th. After I return I hope to have the lawn signs made and I'll be jumping out on tour of the state. |

| krtzen | Pete I am a Republican and I am going to vote for you |
|---|
| pashdown | thank you |
|---|
| krtzen | I think that our Internet rightt our very importan |
|---|
| krtzen | Hatch wants to shut down P2P |
|---|
| pashdown | Yes, and I remember a day when there was no regulation or attempts to control the Internet. |
|---|
| pashdown | I think much of the pressure on politicians to control the Internet comes from businesses and organizations who are using outmoded models of distribution. |
|---|
| krtzen | Yes you are right... politicians who think AOL is the internet!!! |
|---|
| krtzen | I have talked to Rep. Bob Bishop, he seem to want to learn about tech stuff and the internet |
|---|
| pashdown | That is good to hear. |
|---|
| pashdown | I don't think it is a Republican or Democrat issue, but a matter of having perspective on what our economic future is based on. |
|---|

| pashdown | I'm going to call it a night. Thanks for attending and sticking it out through my late arrival, and thank you for the great support and questions. |
|---|
| krtzen | You are right it is a matter of perspective |
|---|
| pashdown | Thanks Krtzen. |
|---|
| krtzen | thanks Pete, this is a good form |
|---|
| krtzen | I will tell my friends at work we are all network admins |
|---|
| pashdown | I'm glad you like it. It is very useful to me to hear from everyone on a regular basis. |
|---|
| pashdown | Please spread the word! |
|---|
| krtzen | I will goodnight |
|---|

| pashdown | Goodnight |
