No, going back to just math and reading isn't a viable option. However, if you can't read and write without computer assistance and don't know how to do division without looking around for a calculator then you're not going to be an asset to an educated work force. Especially a work force that may be deprived of cheap technology as soon as the economy gets around to breathing its last shuddering gasp.
I do not believe that a lack of computers is what is making your literacy rates drop the way they are. That can be blamed (at least in part) on sinking grade standards, lazy teaching, and apathetic parents.
A budget is tied together as a subject by the focus of where to spend money, a stimulus package should be broken apart and the sections voted on individually, and so should the blanket measures.
And yes, make them work 24 hours a day if they want to be passing buckets of expensive legislation. This last big bill could cost every living person in the USA more than $3000 each. Do you want them to to be able to do that without suffering a few sleepless nights?
No, I mean the specific laws. You can't just point in the vague direction of a foreign document and say it might have something in it about the case. You can't be for locking a man up without first being absolutely sure which laws he has broken.
The problem is that you're talking as if the only options are the horribly corrupt government you have now, or anarchy.
Yes, there needs to be some form of government or another, but what you are headed in the direction of having isn't much better than mob justice with the "law" being carried out by a minority rather than the majority. Conflict is never pretty, and sometimes innocents get hit in the fallout, but just passively sitting by while the government builds up into a police state is unacceptable.
Maybe I should just stop there, I don't want to get held for questioning next time I cross the border.
On another note, it might help people understand you if you figured out what capital letters and the more complex forms of punctuation were for.
I cannot take anyone seriously who actually uses the phrase "we need government to save us from ourselves", even if it is said with a straight face. Also, you support breaking copyright law in your signature, but at the same say that that the government has our best interest in mind.
As such, congratulations on your well worded and almost believable parody of sheep-minded philosophy and thank you for giving me a good laugh over lunch break.

You and your personal botnet.
The learning outcomes for Computers and Technology haven't been updated since 1995.
Researchers are excellent at solving problems that nobody is having yet.
So do carbon nanotubes.
There's a meme here somewhere but I can't put my finger on it.

If you can't learn to read and write without a computer, I don't want to hire you.

I can just look at the link and know I don't want to click there.
That's why he mentioned Craigslist: most of those toys he didn't buy retail.
I don't want to learn hieroglyphs.
Getting shot would probably cost more in medical bills than getting sued anyway.
So I hear you went to a gay party last week...
Go for the win and be satisfied with the fact that you're denying a netbook to an American somewhere?
In other words, Google was nerd sniping.
+1 there. I'd mod you up but I haven't seen any mod points in months.
You act as if Iran doesn't have any other enemies. It could have been Canadians responsible for this for all we know.
Connect the minions to the internet, not your death ray. The death ray should only be controlled by big red buttons mounted directly on the device.

What restrictions, specifically? Can you quote me the law that presides over this case?

Well, how many people had even hear of EasyDNS before they were accused? How many know they exist now?
So you mean all those acres of beach front property I bought In Alaska...?
