It before gives u the right to dictate,how when and what shall be provided?
I think I'll try that today at Walmart the only department store in my town, wonder how that goes over. The Entitlement generation makes me sick

Ronasch, I am staunchly opposed to paying for other people's shit, but there are some things that cannot be efficiently furnished by the free market and those are the services government should provide. National security, highways, law enforcement and fire fighting are a few examples. Internet service also fit into that category due to the massive infrastructure investments needed even in profitless areas. Is everyone entitled to Internet? No. Does society benefit from broad availability of internet? Absolutely.

I don't care for crony capitalism anymore than I care for socialism, but some products demand government involvement. This is one of them.
