Yeah, business and prosperity create some pretty formidable blinders.
I think that last time Americans freaked out on a sitting government, we realized that specie was meaningless without the security of our personal liberty. Nobody really learns from history.
Here in Kutztown, PA, we have a borough-sponsored fiber-to-the-curb network. It's really convenient and the price is $15 a month for 2Mbps down ($40 total if you want a full 1Mps up, too)... pretty decent.
Hopefully we get grandfathered in, becuase one of the reasons Kutztown pursued this multi-million dollar project was the way Verizon dragged their feet and refused to bring DSL here. (Actually, the Borough of Kutztown pretty much controls all of its utilities)
I have Vonage and my fiber connection, and I am extremely happy that Verizon is not a part of my life anymore. You'll take my fiber out of my cold, dead hand you fucking corporate swine!
I would steer clear of anyone with such a vehement position on this issue, as it is a serious one. To deny someone the benefits of proper medication is to bar them from realizing the full potential of their intellect. Yet be cautious, do your research, and examine other alternatives if undesirable side-effects overwhelm the benefits.
You may want to look into Strattera, as it lacks the addictive properties of other ADHD drugs. My only noticable side-effect on it has been a focused mind - something I've coveted for a long time.

...for discs four and five, try emule (or amule). That's where I got them. Be sure and join the club if you end up sticking with Mandrake!
