The insanity of liberal socialist thinking.......

Recently, a federal government program called the Universal Service Fund came to the Keystone State and some residents are thrilled because it means they can enjoy 250 minutes a month and a handset for free, just because they don’t have the money to pay for it.

I know it will end...but when the fuck will it end.....

I can't speak for the entire USF, but at least some of those are for people with life-threatening illnesses or conditions, so they can have a little freedom to move about town ect.
 
They are given out to battered women, invalids and isolated elderly people. Society's most vulnerable.
Those the right cares the least about.
 
No. A Cell phone is not a right. Nobody has a right to some material good.

Now, I donate all my old ones to battered women's shelters so they can use them for 911, etc. This is a good thing, but simply giving every person a cell phone as a right? WTF?
 
This is part of an article in yesterday's D Mirror.

WALK along any major shopping street in Britain, and you’re just an anonymous face in the crowd.

But fast forward 10 years to 2021, and the sea of people streaming past you will no longer be nameless nobodies.

Just like them, you’ll be wearing the latest smartphone on your head, and through the video visor you’ll be seeing a world that was once confined to computer screens, games consoles and social networking sites.

You’ll be able to tell by the images bubbling around her head that the girl walking in front of you is into horse riding and is a fan of Hollywood’s latest young star Suri Cruise.

The businessman dashing to a meeting might be wearing a suit, but through your visor he will appear as his avatar, dressed ready for mountain biking, his weekend hobby.

Meanwhile, a number of people in the crowd will be lit up, meaning they share the same interests as you and are keen to meet up.

Welcome to Britain a mere decade from now, where smartphones will rule our lives.

Gone will be iPhones and BlackBerry and Android handsets, confined to the annals of history like tape decks and video cassette recorders today.

Instead we will all be wearing our phones on our heads and if you think smartphones are revolutionising life already, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

While some will be tremendously excited about the future of the smartphone, others will be dreading it. I share some of their worries.

Handwriting will become obsolete. Even today when I pick up a pen I find it difficult to write more than a few words. I don’t even write on cheques or birthday cards anymore.

And as smartphones increasingly take over our lives, it’s not the only skill we are losing.

As we become ever more dependent on the internet, we are losing the ability to talk to our neighbour, get from A to B, entertain ourselves or even use money to pay for things.

What would happen if a cyber attack brought it all down? We wouldn’t have a clue what to do.

despite the way ot was presented, I don't think any has proposed that a cell phone is a right.
