It sure did. It taught them if you carry your plastic packaged prepared food from the store to your SUV that you drove two miles to the grocery store in a reusable bag, you are saving the planet.
How about adding 'Economic Responsibility, Saving and Budgeting' to our Elementary school's course curriculum?
Right, because what your 3rd grade teacher says for a few hours will definitely outweigh what your parents and society will be showing you by example for two decades.
I mean, it has worked so well to fix violence, grammar, and health.
Wealth shift does not necessarily mean redistribution. If the poor and middle class stay at the same wealth levels individually while they are increasing in number and the rich are getting richer, it could be an issue of "earning" and not "wealth redistribution".
Of course, many get rich by taking advantage of others via politics, bribes, legislation, paid-for loopholes, et cetera. In these cases "theft" would be a better word than "wealth redistribution".
And I would have thought a young senator with no experience doing anything productive, who had basically relied on promising rainbows and unicorns to poor people for his political career, surrounded by a bunch of crooked Chicago politicians would have been equally unelectable. I was disastrously wrong.
The difference between a box in your closet that talks to your ISP via wires and a box in your closet that talks to your ISP via radio waves is pretty small, and negligible for most consumers.
The difference between a car and a helicopter is immense.
Do not bring up that the government set up local monopolies. That argument is dead. Companies could be offering Internet connections via WiMAX or 3GPP LTE an areas currently dominated by cable and DSL, but they are not.
The free market fails when the majority of consumers are ignorant or apathetic.
I absolutely am not being facetious. Consumers buy too much stuff to be informed about all of the products and the companies behind them. Democracy has the exact same problem.

If it is futile, how is it better than whining?
The US does seem to have a hard time enforcing laws against corporations that donate to political campaigns.
There are more issues than code copyright. There are patent issues that the GPL does not make go away. Oracle _can_ take it away.
What drastic architectural changes did Java introduce between 1.5 and 1.6 and between 1.6 and 1.7?
By paying for it, you are encouraging them to make more.
Read the article. The mistake Sun made was not opening at the right time.
I have read that rm -rf ~/.adobe; mkdir ~/.adobe; chmod 000 ~/.adobe does the trick. Can anybody confirm?
I was under the assumption that most people use webmail, and most webmail systems render everything.

If you had used the masculine pronoun, I would have thought you were talking about Barack Hope-You-Can-Believe-In Obama.
Tax breaks for the wealthy are supposedly slowing wealth redistribution from rich to poor, not reversing it.

They did not bother, because they thought if there was a freaking decade to roll it out, that would be plenty of time.
Right. Like active plumbing: http://rochester.ynn.com/content/top_stories/525390/apparent-copper-theft-leads-to-flooding-of-future-reoc-building/
WiMAX can reasonably offer 4+Gbps, which is competitive with cable.

Your analogy fails.
There is a possibility of competition - DSL, WiMAX, 3GPP LTE. But for some reason, competition never materializes.

Nothing in that article says that he wants a state religion or that he does not believe in evolution.

Because consumers are stupid.
Worse than the iPad? So we can expect a terrible keyboard, terrible text selection, rotation issues, and buggy input controls? Where do I sign up?
You are drastically underestimating how much it takes to run last mile to a hundred million buildings.
