I am adamantly against Universal Access in its past, current and
potential form.

But...I could justify a public access terminals in the name of
electronic government. Post Office I believe is more universal than the
Public Library.

Such universal access (not necessarily convenient, not competing
significantly with private access, and certainly not regulating or
funded by private access) would allow for the requirement that all
communique between people and government agencies (from voting to tax
filing to policy debates) be in electronic form.

On step short of asking them to stop looting my wallet (which I do, but
they don't listen), is to ask them to spend it efficiently.

As Russ said, email is cheap enough that anybody who wants it can buy
it.  Are you proposing to subsidize it down to "free", so you can assume
everyone has it, and then the government can use it to communicate?
