| With such a distroted view of what constitutes...
"civil rights", it's no wonder the U.S. has as many social problems as it does! I would think having a place to live, food to eat, a job, basic education, etc. would be a Helleva lot higher on the list of priorities than Wi-Fi. I doubt people without a PC give a Rat's Azz about Wi-Fi but they care about having fire, police, and basic city services. It's simply amazing that some public officials are so removed from reality that they haven't got a clue. | |

This is all true, but in their eyes it includes all that and more. Having police, fire, water, electricity, an education, health care, American citizenship, etc.
Next will be owning a house, a car, making X dollars a year, you name it, they believe all this eventually should be a "right".
Add to this list what you envision as a "right" or think they might. Remember, there are no limits because its simply what you can think of and see what other people have that some don't. | |

While I don't believe the good mayor has his thinking cap on very straight, the outcome of these muni debate threads has become painfully obvious: it exposes how socially dysfunctional this republic has become concerning its future direction.
Everyone is so full of hate and revels in playing the entitlement card. The goal, of course, is to turn any word pertaining to entitlement into a pejorative. Which, if recent political history is any indicator, will prove successful beyond their wildest dreams. Rope salesmen: selling the very rope that will be used to hang themselves one day.

Most people who are on the receiving end of entitlements should be ashamed that they are living off of the backs of those of us who work. I welcome any measure which emboldens this idea.
