Re: Funding Model Still stuck using SBC lines to reach wherever via DSL.....
Rates that are going to go up any day.
"Should tax money be allowed to provide pornographic movies for residents?"
That's the exact reason the tricities want it. It will help to support the fledgling TriCity porn industry too.
"Do you believe local schools will have to cut teaching staff, increase class sizes and eliminate after school programs because the Tri‑Cities broadband referendum competes with existing school referendums?"
Can you say SEPARATE TAXING BODY FROM CITY? Thought so...
Wait, I know, the porn industry could employ the out of work teachers....
"Would a government broadband invade privacy and allow the government to listen to your telephone conversations, monitor the Internet sites you visit and know what cable shows you watch?"
Do you mean any more than Comcast? See »www.detnews.com/2002/technology/···3526.htm
Privacy? What about this from you?
"Quite similarly, I don't think it's ideal for a government to provide internet access to a society that has proven time and time again that it cannot resist pornography. Currently, there appear to be 18 registered sex offenders in Geneva and Batavia combined. St. Charles has no listings. "
I'm so happy you know what's best for us. That must be the only reason we want it.....screaming fast porn. The moral compass for TriCity voters? Thanks for checking up? Porn causes all sex offenders? All sex offenders are the result of porn? Give me a break....
Using that logic, guns cause death, not the people pulling the trigger...
Distort nothing......LIES

Go ahead and read it. Not very supportive of your desire to have government internet, huh? Let's focus on a few interesting nuggets from this...
More than 60 percent of companies have disciplined - and more than 30 percent have terminated - employees for inappropriate use of the Internet.
27 per cent of Fortune 500 companies have battled sexual harassment claims stemming from employee misuse and abuse of corporate e-mail and Internet systems.
Keep bitching. Facts are facts. A lot of people use internet for pornography or other inappropriate uses. Is that the reason you guys want to build it? Please, don't embarrass your own lack of comprehension here. I'm not talking about good intentions. I'm talking about practical applications and usage. With this EMPIRICAL DATA, and with the COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT PORN IS WIDELY AVAILABLE FOR FREE ON THE WEB, should the government provide the link? By you not addressing the Juggs Magazine comparison, I would assume that your local public library won't provide the content. Then why should they provide the link for the digital content? That's the real topic of discussion. Don't insult me by claiming that I "know whats best".
Don't want to use SBC lines, go with DLS or Comcast. You people just won't address some issues pertaining to this argument. You dance around the topic and take the offensive in any way you can, yet you keep ignoring some key critical components of this network. Go ahead, keep ignoring the fact that other options are there and keep spewing out misinformation (ie LIES). |

| Actually, if you want to get technical...County Govts. or municipalities often hold and sign the franchises for the cable companies. Here it is Comcast (the #1 cable company profiting from porn). By holding the franchises the Govt. is actually already approving and profitting from your porn.
