You must not be from Utah. Here in Utah they would have taken your horse manure.
Honestly, I have NEVER EVER EVER received kind service from ANY state or federal employee. And I'm not even an abrasive person. That includes the city councilmen and the girls working the concession stands at the local state university.
Well, too be completely fair my postman is super nice to me... but it looks like I'm going to be seeing him one day less a week. F*CK!
I used to be in your shoes. Then this happened down the road.
Interestingly enough, with the NSA in town fiber connections are now pretty standard out in the 'country'.
Interesting analogy of a 'yelling' neighbor. Unfortunately it's not helping your point.
-You can't stop but to hear a yelling neighbor.
-Is your personal network interrupted by theirs?
-Do they have a reasonable expectation of privacy?
Sending an "unencrypted" love letter to a girlfriend by postal mail offers me adequate expectation of privacy... and anyone can just simply intercept that letter many ways.
You are trying to make a point that because you CAN do something from the comfort of your own home/car/bike you SHOULD be able to do it.
The general public doesn't "readily have access" to interpret unencrypted wifi networks any _more_ than we have access intercepting personal wireless phones (which is also easy).
We dont have any _less_ access to DVD decryption software (which is illegal, I'm told) than we do to wifi monitoring tools.
No I'm not. I'm saying hardworking people who pay their share of taxes benefit society, if for no other reason than help fund it. They
Yes, there are lazy people, just as there are unhealthy people, just as there are criminals, etc., etc., that probably take in more than they 'deserve' at times. You can't argue that. My argument isn't that "there are a huge -growing- number of people just riding the system man", every country/state/city/town/neighborhood has that.
What I disagree with is that hard working people, rich people, lucky people, well-connected people need to pay at higher _rate_ of taxes. For instance, Romney might have paid 15% while I paid 28%, but I fucking guarantee you he contributes A LOT more than me to this 'society fund'. Pick your poison. Pick your frame of thought. Pick your strategy. I NEVER agree wholeheartedly with any single political party, and neither should you.
Regarding taxes I'm more prone to thinking it should just be a flat tax, then give the so-called 'job providers' discounts. It would create the least amount of argument and eliminate all the social divides that has been stirred up this last election cycle. Yes, a Democratic talking point.
I don't need government to protect me from lions. With the help of a few neighbors we could pretty much protect ourselves from most anything in the wild.
I pay all sorts of monetary taxes for the societal convenience of judges, enforcers, generals, unified monetary system, etc.
My property taxes provide most of local school funding, city streets, sidewalks, etc.
My sales taxes provide a lot towards business regulation, local government, etc.
Specific taxes on things like gasoline, tourism, etc., provides monies for interstate travel, and infrastructure.
Income taxes provides a bunch towards federal government and armies, etc.
I expect my government to be able to balance this budget, and almost never get into debt. -- I am contributing a lot of my money (money=sacrifice/time/investment) for this system to run anyways.
To live in society requires responsibility; and I only covered the monetary side of it. So fuck off with your lion analogy. I work hard, I give back. And I don't expect all the uncircumstantial, unhealthy, lazy, or otherwise unfortunate people that don't perform their societal obligations to move to Mogadishu and fend off lions on their own.

Sarcasm? ;)
I completely agree.
The thief isn't responsible when I forget to lock my car/house/computer/belt buckle.
If you want to keep your communications private for now, encrypt them in 4096 bit.
-Fixed that for you.
