| Message | A government ISP would be vastly inferior to private ISPs; it would not be able to compete private ISPs; and it would have as much use as an extra foot---that the Highazhell Party may tickle themselves for proposing a bill so considerate of the poor. Because, God bless the little buggers, they have nothing better to do that tool around on the internet. |
