Re: Another "Solution" Looking for a Problem And that, of course, is why people like him can never be given power. Having an educated populace is a threat to those with weak minds.
It's not surprising he left out some of the other rights that we consider so important. As far as he and his ilk (G. Dubyah and friends), these rights are on a worthless piece of paper that gets in the way. That nasty 4th amendment doesn't help stop terrorist, so it must be ignored!
The right to speak.
The right to gather peacefully.
The right to be secure from unreasonable searches.
The right to an impartial trial.
The right to vote.
The right to an education.
Anyone who gets ANYTHING from the government (heating assistance, etc) has to give up all those rights according to retire_rich and his astrotufing pals. |

| I think what he meant to say was publicly funded "rights". When someone says we need to start giving away more services to those in the welfare programs I think a lot of frustrations arise. Due to the fact that so many people abuse the system, the thought of more tax dollars being spent on someone who isn't going to contribute positively towards society it pisses some people off. |

As for 'solution' and 'problem' it's nothing but the usual barking from our resident right-wing nuts.
Smalltown boys won't get it, even with relatives from Queens - there will be a difference if every household will have a basic broadband, even those who cannot afford it.
Meanwhile poor kids outside of NYC will be stucked with their libraries, of course, thx to their local extreme rightwing nuts.  |

It's quite obvious they've stucked on some smalltown way of thinking - I've heard these nutcase 'arguments' many times when I traveled around the country.
Of course, these are the folks who think government should do nothing but tax breaks and everything will be fine. Economical geniuses. |

In my limited experience it's those with weak minds who resort to hyperbole, hysterics and *name calling*. |
