Why is it that when any project supported by our president is disliked by
somebody, they give it his name as a sign of disrespect?
Their is always a sense of jealousy when anybody gets something for free
that we had to pay for with our hard earned money. On the other hand, our
relationship to a phone has changed so drastically, that the need for access
makes some abuse tolerable. For example, any cell phone, as long as it has
a charge will call 911. The domestic violence centers therefore give them
to potential victims of domestic violence, so that the people will have
another option to increase their safety. The entire HMO based Health care
system runs on the assumption of being able to communicate with patients by
phone. Obviously, when a person is homeless, a land based phone line isn't
very useful. With no installation costs, a cell phone becomes the most cost
effective way of providing a communications option for citizens who live in
poverty. Remember, the phones are limited in features and time. Are some
sold for drugs? Probably. Would you rather that those people stole your
stuff to sell for drugs? How about selling their children for drugs? As
long as their are actively consuming drugs, and as long as they have become
addicted to those drugs. They will do what ever is necessary to obtain the
drugs. Better that they have a phone to arrange for drug treatment through
their HMO's if and when they choose to.
If one person does that every month, doesn't that make the investment worth
it? How about the people that call the nurse rather than charge off in
panic for the unnecessary $200 emergency room visit? You can pay for a lot
of phones with the cost savings there.
Are we, the consumers of our wonderful NLS going to complain that somebody
else is getting something that we are not getting? Of all people I don't
think we want to bark up that tree. How many of us paid for our entire
educations, paid for every dime of our adaptive technology? Never used
subsidized public transportation? Drove on a road that we paid for? Oh and
bought only unsubsidized farm products. Everybody pays for some things
while they are using other things.
No president is perfectly right and no president is perfectly wrong. also
no president is all powerful. The executive branch is 1/3 of the
government.
