What the fuck does improving the national Internet infrastructure have to do with human rights? It's a national security issue, as I see it.

It protects our interests in the world as a valid competitor in an increasingly Internet-driven competitive International marketplace. Even though we "invented" the Internet, we are no longer leaders in it (far from it, apparently), and if you don't think the Internet is important to national Interests, then you're just another Kaczynski.

This isn't about bringing YouTube to farmers, it's about improving our network infrastructure in order to be more competitive as a COUNTRY.

You have the intellectual capacity of a table leg, so coming from you, that's a compliment.

First off, it's not "other peoples money", it's MY MONEY too. I pay a lot more in taxes than you do, (according to your posts, you don't pay shit) so STFU about other peoples money.

How much have you contributed towards our National Defense? Dick, that's how much. Did you go to a public school? I'm guessing you did. You know who payed for that? Me motherfucker (that would be the collective "me", as in motherfuckers who pay taxes for schools, even though they don't have any kids), that's who. In your case that money was surely squandered. Your dumb cracker ass owes me a refund.

Mind you, I'm not complaining. I know the money I spend on education will not reach the smart kids only. I'll end up paying for some retards too, but that's ok, because all in all, it's for the greater good.

When you start paying for the education of retards with snake flags, you can bitch all you want. Until then, you can blow me.

You're right, but if we (the collective we) paid for Smittie's education, then I, for one, demand a refund.

If you don't drive or own a car then you don't pay taxes on the roadways. I know some federal money goes to the roadways but that's just our fucked up government at work.

Rail system? Built by private companies (such as Union Pacific). I'm opposed to government ran railways. If there is a real benefit to them then a private company would build them since people would be willing to pay for it if it is so vital to our lives.

As for growing our country to compete in the international marketplace being vital to our national security? I can't even comprehend how your dumbass could even come close to making a connection between the two.

As for my signature. I thought it was funny and personally I think it fits you better. You hate freedom because you fear getting the wrong juice. And you fear yourself because you can't understand personal responsibility.

You are just a selfish person who I'm sure Kohlberg would be proud of. It's all about you, you, you, you and you. You want the government to regulate juice labeling so you don't have to think, you want the government to regulate fertilizer companies because you might get the wrong seed, but you want to de-regulate the airport security because it can inconvenience you? You want the government to revolve around you. Which if that is the case then why don't you run for office and make everything right for everyone?
Are you saying the government had nothing to do with the railway?

Nothing hidden about it, I'm a capitalist.

More people online, means more online sales. More online sales nation wide, means more money being spent nation wide. That, in turn, equals more jobs and more economic growth.

Why do you hate America?

Companies will stay in an area where it makes the most buisness sense. Buidling millon dollar towers everywhere so 50 people can have wireless makes no buisness sense. Hence why the government needs to stay out.
Satellite is broadband in a technical sense. However, the latency is brutal (even at the speed of light, it takes a while for data to run through the atmosphere and back), which means it sucks ass for things like terminal server applications.

And you need to shop around a bit for your towers.

That's already the situation when it comes to wired broadband. Verizon is the ILEC for our little section of South Carolina. Don't know how the hell they ended up owning the wires, since everything else in the county is owned by AT&T (formerly Bellsouth), but they couldn't possibly care less. They refuse to upgrade the local Central Office to run DSL, so we don't get it.

Comcast owns the franchise rights to cable in our area. Call any other cable company, and they say we can't help you, call Comcast. Call Comcast, and they say "we show that your local carrier is DirectTV." They refuse to run cable a mile down one of the main roads in town, even when we offered to pay them to do it, even when the town council intervened on resident's behalf. The local wired utilities are government-licensed monopolies, and they say "fuck you".
