I like the link to the script.

All the comedic greats took time to explain their jokes afterwards. Timing, topicality, and a full explanation are the 3 cornerstones of comedy.

I just long for the day when we have true broadband WiFi coverage in church building. Wasting time during boring lessons on 3G stuff sucks. I need real broadband!

Do you go to Church in Asia or Europe?

When did we get 3G in the United States? Awesome!

Country Top marginal tax rate

South Korea 38.5%
Hong Kong 17.5%
US 35%

by the way, it's low population density that's making it harder for the US to hook everyone up. We need more illegal immigrants.

would free Internet really bother some here? Anyone who claims to value democracy should be able to understand why free Internet is in the country's best interest. Anyone who believes that a free market of ideas will generally produce the best solutions to problems should also understand the logic of this. We pay taxes to fund all kinds of programs that we believe will return larger dividends in the long run. Let's put this into pure market terms- free Internet for all is a solid long-term investment that serves both the economic and intellectual interests of this country. Sometimes it takes this kind of spending to stay competitive with other countries.

As long as it is not gov't funded? No.

are you one of those john Birchers who would prefer to receive separate monthly bills for the thousands of government services that we have collectively decided to fund in the name of the greater good? Because if you are, I don't know what to say, other than if that is really you, then man up and move to a place where you can live out your Ayn Randian dream (Kabul comes mind as a nice start). Do you realize how backward this country would be if we didn't see the value in making some goods and services available to all? Why should the government pave my road and not give me free Internet. What is the practical difference?
