has signed up only 12 percent of the 2.6 million families eligible for the service since it was launched

Perhaps only 12% of those 2.6 million want internet service? I know it's unthinkable to be without broadband but there are people that don't want it. Why the crusade to get to 100%? ... Oh yeah, more sheeple for advertisers.

Just because someone works harder doesn't mean they deserve to get ahead of someone who is more talented. If you're simply not very intelligent, but work really hard, would we put you in charge of things?

Probably not.

Actually yes. The smart/talented wind up engineers, the "hard workers" wind up in management.
