So back to the "free" library internet access... Most libraries have had to implement very strong policies regarding patron using public computers. Time is limited to one hour per day. If you are looking for a job or filling out an application on line - you better be quick. If you have to take an exam "on line" you have to make an appointment so that a computer may be set aside that will not time out after 1 hour.

"Free" isn't so free. We should not be so behind other developed nations in internet access or health or anything else.

Just imagine if "public libraries" did not exist in the U.S. Then imagine what it would be like to get that idea through Congress now. If they don't care about our health or education or internet access, do you think they would care about how many books you have access to? ]]>Feb 8th 2010 1:08PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/Feb 2nd 2010 9:52AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/Feb 2nd 2010 10:07AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/Feb 2nd 2010 10:03AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/Feb 2nd 2010 10:13AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/
This is like the SIX different taxes I pay for my telephone landline! Pay and then pay again, and again, and again! You have to hand it to them -- this is quite a racket!]]>Feb 2nd 2010 10:26AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/And if France has nationwide service it is sorta like Texas going state wide.]]>Feb 2nd 2010 12:32PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/If they put a tax on MY internet, I'll just cancel it. I do not want to give the government ONE MORE CENT of my money, just so they can give it to those TOO LAZY TO GET A JOB. Say what you want. You know there are those people who are parasites and mooch off the government.
This makes me SICK. The government can't do ANYTHING right. They need to stick to doing their jobs, and stop trying to run our lives.
Obama just wants MORE control over us, and to monitor what people say on the internet, so HE can ban them from using it, if he feels people aren't praising him. He MAKES ME SICK!!!!!!!!! We might as well be in a communist nation.]]>Feb 2nd 2010 10:28AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/The bundle packages from different companies are costly too, but they can't provide good service in a dead zone.]]>Feb 2nd 2010 10:32AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/Feb 2nd 2010 10:32AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/Feb 2nd 2010 12:16PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/Feb 8th 2010 8:14PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/Feb 2nd 2010 10:39AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/Feb 2nd 2010 11:02AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/Feb 2nd 2010 10:56AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/
Big business can now, thanks to thier fear of piracy (loss of phantom profits), trace any internet to sue you.

We lost any real sense of privacy on 9/11.]]>Feb 2nd 2010 3:37PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/Feb 2nd 2010 11:05AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/u-s-considering-nationwide-internet-access-plan/
Seriously, you guys who do that are morons. I don't even care about trying to fight for things like this anymore. It would bring me more pleasure to see you idiots wallow in your third world misery once you wake up in 20 years and see that everything you worked for and believed in has been pulled right out from under you because you did nothing to prevent it, you just sat in the corner with your wittle blankey and whined about the evil socialists coming to take your medicare away.

Funny as hell.]]>Feb 2nd 2010 11:26AM
