Where can I find some good solid, hard facts about this so-called "Google and Verizon" issue going around?
Already tried stating my ideas somewhere, got made fun of. :(
Include links plz. Keep it civil.

I have read a few articles about the end of "Net Neutrality" these NY Times articles and the links provided with each of these articles will provide a comprehensive overview and considerable specifics of the deal between Google and Verizon and its effect on the internet.

I know many folks consider the NY Times a questionable authority but I consider the NY Times a very reasonable and reliable source of quality information, including the information provided within these and other articles regarding the Google/Verizon deal, net neutrality, and most all other topics.
I would recommend reading the above articles and exploring the other links within them as well as the other information provided by the NY Times in regards to these issues.
In the name of objectivity here is a San Fransisco Chronicle article where Google claims the NY Times is wrong in saying that Google and Verizon will be undercutting net neutrality by moving forward and making this deal.

"@NYTimes is wrong. We've not had any convos with VZN about paying for carriage of our traffic. We remain committed to an open internet."

I feel it is safe to say the the end of net neutrality is near and has been an inevitability for some time now.

As information is by FAR the number one most valuable commodity of this or any time it is only inevitable that corporations and the like do whatever they can to control it and control the price of it. Google/Verizon.. heck Cablevision they are all making an angled ploy to get a toll paid to their own pocket for using the part or parts of the information superhighway that are under their control. Anyone person or company that says otherwise is lying.
Not much in this world can stop the capitalistic progress of economy and the commodity of information and the roads it travels on are as valuable as any gold, silver, steel, whatever from the past... the one who controls the information wins. Everyone and every company with a hand will play it.. and this battle will not end a smiley free "net neutrality" internet for we the users.
