because high speed broadband is a right?

Wow are we going to start hearing how high speed internet is a right now? What if they don't have computers? Do we all have a basic right to computation devices? Our rights cover the equal opportunity for us to pursue these services, not the *guarantee* of having them.

Our entitlement society and politicians are going to kill our economy. It's like those goofballs that ran for student body president on the joke of a promise of free pizza in the cafeteria to get elected. Same idiocy is being used to get elected in Washington.

FREE INTERNET FOR EVERYBODY! The sheep cry out, "Yaaaaaaay! And more recess too!"

*sigh*

fiscal responsibility

that's what it's called. you can't afford it...dont buy it. I made sure i have a job where i make good enough money so i can afford to pay for internet so my wife can go to college online (which we pay for ourselves w/out government help). there are a lot of things that i'd like to have but cannot afford it.

why does the government think that everyone deserves to have broadband internet? we only deserve what we work to achieve. nothing more.
Sorry, we're downsizing. You're fired.

AMEN!
I am in basically the same boat as you with a decent job and paying for the wifes college. I am so sick of the "underprivileged" getting handouts. Work, save, pay, and deal with lifes hardships!

Why not free Lemonaid as well.

i already doing my part! are you?

i leave my wifi router OPEN, so others can check their emails and surf internet!
You better hope they're not surfing child porn, spamming, or hacking government mainframes. They first look at the source and look for IP's later. 👀

What about the "work hard so you can afford internet" plan?

Or we can just give people another reason to not work...
