Lasting benefits

“While CityNet’s ‘financial legacy won’t be disappearing anytime soon,’ neither will the benefits that public investment brings to our city. If you’re using anything but dial-up, you should wake up and realize why you ever got it. You’d have less and pay more if our city fathers didn’t have the foresight to set the mark for your glorious for-profit ISPs. Did ‘the market’ EVER step up, until they were challenged? NOPE.”



Poll the members

“Member support? I think that before AARP gives support to the health care reform bill as it now stands, AARP should poll EACH of its members and ask them how they feel about it. I thought that AARP was about members. I will, as many others have, cancel my membership.”



Seek advice

“The YMCA and the BOE need to seek legal advice on their current relationship. I thought the YMCA was a non-profit; sounds like they will profit with increased membership.”



Thrown in

“The American people would have been better served had the Constitution imposed term and spending limitations and hadn’t created an obstructionist, unrepresentative body like the U.S. Senate. There are probably some other whims that escape me at the moment. Oh, yeah, about the Electoral College — they threw that one in because they didn’t trust our judgment in direct election of a President.”
