How many homes out there don't have electricity? If you have a power outage it's not the end of the world but it's very inconvenient. Some people won't have heat, won't be able to cook, can't do much, etc... If I loose power I don't have water either which means no flushing or drinking since I'm on a well. So, I think electricity is a necessity.
If my broadband goes out, no big deal. I've lost my source of entertainment. I won't be able to chastise knuckle-headed posters on BBR. Some people have dial-up back-up if necessary.
As for the telephone...that can go either way. I could live without it but many people can't. And with the advent of cellphones telephone service isn't as critical.
How many people out there don't have broadband? I can think of dozens of my friends who don't have it, don't know what it is, don't have a computer and they lead normal lives. But they all do have electricity and telephones. So are they missing out on another "right".
Seems like this country has turned into a bunch of whiners who are demanding that they have all sort of "rights". |
