    Generally speaking university libraries are open to the public. I went to a private university in the North East and any member of the public was free to read books in the library and only requirements to check one out were to have some form of state ID to get a library card.

    Remove the cap that excludes the rich from paying their fair share, and it would even be fully funded for more than 75 years.

    Ryan was chosen because he is disposable, this is the republicans wasting a Mormon and a Catholic at an election they have to show up too, but know they will not win. This way in another four years they can say "look how diverse we are, we let even non-christians(american protestants often claim both mormons and catholics are not christian.) run as our candidate". How the church their sects split from can not christian but the resulting church end up christian is left as an exercise to the reader.

    Why would it be? That would have been checked before he registered to be a candidate.

    I still don't understand it anyway, since the constitution says natural born and I would assume that covers anyone that was became a citizen by birth. I for instance was born outside the US, but because one my my parents was a US soldier I was a citizen by birth.

    Wiki quotes the Congressional Research Service to say;

    "The weight of legal and historical authority indicates that the term âoenatural bornâ citizen would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship âoeby birthâ or âoeat birth,â either by being born âoeinâ the United States and under its jurisdiction, even those born to alien parents; by being born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents; or by being born in other situations meeting legal requirements for U.S. citizenship âoeat birth.â Such term, however, would not include a person who was not a U.S. citizen by birth or at birth, and who was thus born an âoealienâ required to go through the legal process of âoenaturalizationâ to become a U.S. citizen.[1]"

    Which seems to agree with my analysis.

    Not living in the middle of nowhere.
    Moving to a rural area then complaining about what an isp charges, caps and low speeds is moronic. It would be like complaining about the long drive to buy groceries. It is simply a function of desiring to live in an area without modern conveniences.

    If you call they generally have more options than online. This is because they don't use their own call centers but contracted out ones that get paid based on sales so they are willing to make special deals. Also they offer better prices on longer term contracts.

    They normally offer the same speeds without the bundle for about $10 extra.

    I have no phone, no cable, just internet and am paying $10 more than I would for internet if I had those, but those add another $50 anyway.
