"I just don't see the social good in using taxpayer money to fund a network that provides more television and bandwidth for illegally downloading files," he said. "We should spend money on getting people fit, rather than deteriorating their quality of life with higher bandwidth to surf the Net."

-- Rocky Anderson

I found this quote thanks to Phil Windley.

Thanks. Mostly because of the humor factor. National politics has been a real drag lately. I've been feeling a bit blue and thought I'd lost my sense of humor. Leave it to the insightful Salt Lake Mayor to restore my faith in politicians.

Oh, and what if all us fat surfers could download our illegal files with lightning speed, allowing more time for exercise, giving us greater health? What about that? Could we use Medicare dollars to fund the net?.........
