said by kamm :The problem is that your bosses at the cable company enjoy monopolies thus the high prices many cannot justify for broadband. All of the bitching and moaning in the world isn't going to change things. I have my broadband connection, and I could care less if Joe Hoodus in Screw Horses, Wyoming doesn't. I am not going to increase my stress levels over an issue I can do absolutely nothing about.

Maybe I misunderstood your post?
EDIT: "It's sheer stupidity and narrow mindedness to deny the fact that internet IS a utility."
I take that as your saying im narrow minded and denying the fact that internet IS a utility, so your stating that in fact the internet itself is a utility.
If that's not what you mean't please elaborate. |

While that was not directed to me I understand how you feel on this one.
There shall be abusers to the system in any level. I know this for a fact because we see it every day, instead of cutting off welfare and other services I believe the services provide should be strict for the intended purposes.
One example is instead of giving out checks which people can cash into there accounts let the government give out debit cards but they also must use a certain amount on food and clothing, utility bills and with a small amount for misc items.
There are other ways to solve this instead of just cutting it off like that idiotic politician on CNN said. The system must be more strict and give out the money to the people who really need it.
Also some people have more than just one child some could have 2,3 even 4 or more there first time. It's not something the parents probably would not of known until it was too late.
So that last sentence was ignorant at best. |

Norwich, NY | I guess it depends on where you live, cheapest dialup is about $20.00 where I live.
Broadband is somewhere in the $30.00 range with a package deal |

The last sentence wasn't ignorant. Twins are rare, triplets rarer and quadruplets are rarer still and the original poster surely wasn't talking about these cases. He was talking about people who have 4 or 5 kids, all years apart from each other when they're poor and can't afford to take care of ONE kid. In addition to that, even the poor get sonograms and would know well before the birth of those kids if they were carrying multiples or not and at that point have the option of selectively aborting.
So they have many options, they're just too stupid to use them. |

Broadband never was a utility.
A utility is something you need to remain alive. Water, heat, gas, electricity all run appliances that keep us warm, keep our food from spoiling, allow us to cook our food, and allow us to have indoor plumbing to remove human wastes from our home and reduce the incidence of disease.
Now its up to you to explain just exactly someone would die from lack of internet access? |

Re: We are getting there
"even the poor get sonograms"
If they have health care sure, if not they need to pay $300 for one. |
