High speed dial-up is a right, but WIFI is optional...

I missed the passage in the Old Testament that makes it so.

I am always leery of ‘rights’ that one person claims that have a direct cost to another person.

Remember when the Founding Fathers put that part in the Constitution about WiFi?...
It was run on kerosene back in those days.

Martin O’Malley is so far to the left he makes Terry McAuliffe look like Barry Goldwater.
Okay. Maybe that was a slight exaggeration...

Ah yes, I forgot. Kerosene didn't come along until after they struck oil in Pennsylvania in the mid 1800’s...

Well, hell yes. They deserve to be able to view porn on their free Wi-Fi in crack houses. You can’t expect the dealers to provide this basic human right.

Correct. Wi-Fi, dialup and even television were run off whale oil in those days.
Andrew Jackson spoke on television. Ask any public high school student, and he'll tell you.

Al Gore was selling Lincoln's Fireside Chat videos back when he owned the Taqiyya Amerika Network.
