re: #314 A hollow voice says NOW drain that swamp!

I do not believe this. As we just noted, Obama, a city kid, wanted to provide broadband to rural areas. Legislators from blue states — less rural practically by definition — supported him. USPS is supported by dems, even though I subsidize every letter you send to keep costs equal across the country. If rural people want better services, they’re going to have to support democrats. I’m not holding my breath.

I missed his comment in my catch-up. We couldn’t get people to move out of the large cities without hugh capacity broadband everywhere. Plus, I do think it’s reached the point where it’s as much of a person’s right as electricity is.
