don't count on it. Its a battle against a lifetime of religious indoctrination and a notion of creationism that has lasted for thousands of years.

Given a choice between outlawing guns and having a sensitive listening device on every street corner that can listen in on conversations like Big Brother, I'd prefer to outlaw guns.

The USPS ran just fine for decades before they started fucking with it. Where else can you mail anything for less than a buck? UPS? FedEx? Nowhere. Which is exactly why they're trying to kill it off...
Once the USPS is gone, watch how much more it costs us to send things. I'm betting it'll only be a few weeks before UPS, FedEx, DHL, and all the other carriers arbitrarily raise their rates and blame it on the cost of gasoline.
Also, if the post office is gone, who will deliver to "remote" areas? Private carriers don't do it now. If you don't live in the city or suburbs, how will you get your mail?

Once a federal law goes into effect allowing tiered internet usage pricing, Mr Genachowski will quit his post as FCC chairman to take a high-paying top level lobbyist position for Comcast or one of the other major carriers. Why do I say that?...Because we've seen it before. These companies have the politicians in their pockets.

Its funny how some people don't mind if a big corporation like Google tracks you, or even sells your information (maybe like Facebook) but, if the GOVERNMENT does it, then its time to cry foul.

After seeing all these virus and malware problems with Android, who wants to use it anymore? You cannot even download from their app store without getting infected! Just get an iPhone or Windows Phone 7 and be done with it. At least Apple and Microsoft knows something about security.
I'd mod you down if I could. IOS and OSX have malware, too.
