Why do some people (mostly conservatives) view the Internet as some sort of complete luxury? It may not be up there with "clean water" and "electricity," but it's certainly more important than "weekly manicures" (*) and (at this point) "expanded, non-basic cable TV."

(*) To be fair, some jobs where you're paid to be attractive, a weekly manicure would be a necessity.

I also wonder why there is this lingering feeling of resentment among some upper-middle class conservatives that the poors are somehow ripping all of us off, yet ignoring the wealthy (**) who rip us off to the tune of many more zeros.

(**) Yeah, they say they're mad about both. But it seems they're mad about the tiniest of efforts to rein in the Masters of the Universe, because they might stop creating jobs. But it's not as if they've actually created any jobs in the past decade.[/quote]
