Try to remember that In the US..NOTHING gets done unless there is either a profit to be made or a tax write-off or a government hand-out to be had. Doing something that is inherently good just to help your fellow man is not an American "thing" anymore. Think: the medical industry... need I elaborate ?

For a great many Americans tough times are happening and/or getting worse. It's truly tough to watch the older generation trying to live on a fixed income (like mine) that doesn't come close to being adjusted to the everyday reality of runaway inflation.

I, personally, am looking at dropping internet because it's too expensive for me. Tough sh*t, huh ? Well, it's a toss up with buying food. Internet is good, but has no nutritional value. I will miss it dearly... been doing this since I had a Commodore-64, hooked to a 2400 baud modem, and going into QuantamLink, UseNet, and a bazillion BBS's.

I'll miss the socialization the most. Then the news, HuffPo, streaming video, images from everywhere, and, yes, even some porno. WTF... the internet is fascinating at every level. It is, with the exception of commercialization, a representation of everything good thing about humanity.

Maybe I can get a laptop (somehow) and pirate WiFi ... posted 06/26/2008 at 12:16:53

Whoa.. that's kinda scary when you think about it. posted 03/24/2008 at 20:48:37
