So once again, why should I pay for your ability to have HD YouTube in every room?
for the same reason that i pay for your roads, your education, your access to hospitals, your police to protect your property and the million other things that are a shared, community expense. because it's the right thing to do. because living in a country that was 100% user-pays would be hell on earth. america's a great example if you're poor, and with the shrinking of the middle-classes pretty nearly everyone is poor or will be soon - all it takes is losing your job, or someone in your family getting sick and then you're fucked. somalia's an example of the end result for selfish turd Libertarian paradise, guns and money are the only things that matter, and private police/armies do whatever the fuck they want - rape, murder, torture, extortion, theft and more - because they've got the fucking guns. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
