If you admire public utilities, go stand in line at your local DMV.

Or get broadband service in countries where it IS a public utility.
Funny. Many of these very countries have much higher rates of broadband
penetration than we do. And its cheaper as well.

"cheaper"?? Everything is cheaper in higher-taxed countries, isn't it
?:)

Now all we need is some of that "free" health care.

Maybe it's fun for you, but I get very worried when I see government
policy made by people who got their science education from "Plan
Nine from Outer Space."

Thanks,
Rich

Most people i have met or know have a rather worse science education.
I am troubled by the poor science ability of many of my fellow
engineers.

Back when I worked at Boeing, I got license plates for my Porsche that
say 'DV DT'. I was shocked at how many engineers there couldn't figure
it out. My mechanic got it, as did a few cops I know. The salesman at
the local electronics shop, knowing I was an EE, guessed it was voltage
slew rate. I'll give him partial credit for that.

There was one woman I worked with (a contract engineer) that took one
look at the plate and said I should have gotten the second derivative of
velocity instead.

Or worse, by politicians who think science and knowledge are dirty words.

Who needs science when you can have wishful thinking? Why pick reality over
fairy tales if reality is less pleasant?

They believe in the Living Dead because they have marched them doen to
the polls on election day. They just have to keep them from moaning
"Brains...I need brains." That is reserved for the candidates.

What did you do to her? Pinch her butt? ;-)
