| I can't move I still a kid.  And I'm not asking for like 20m I would be happy with 1.5m. And for half of my life I live in KC there were quite a few murders there. And I do have wireless broadband, it just cost a lot. Its not so much that I don't have access to faster speeds it that they r taking my money and not giving my anything, and I don't like socialism, so I do not want them to spend your money for something for me, but I do not have a problem with them spending my money on me. I would get my neighbors to pay(my family would for the whatever it is that gets us higher speed and we would cause we all want higher speed. Hopefully we will get it soon as we live in the middle of comcast and embarq, so which ever one gets here first gets the money. |

Quick point, but that Chicago murder rate is approximately 5 per 100,000/year.
That is equivalent to less than 1 murder every 4 years in a town the size of Pleasant Hill. me1212 might actually live in a town with a higher murder rate than Chicago. |
