  Yes!  We should give computers to every person making less than
$35,000 per year!

  Of course, those poor people need electricity to operate those free
computers, so we will have to give them free electricity.

  And, they can't operate those new computers outdoors on an extension
cord, so we will need to give them a free home too...all for the sake of
"INFORMATION EQUALITY", baby.

  These poor, information starved individuals must be given quality
food if they are expected to learn well while taking free computer
courses.

  So that they can go to computer classes, we certainly don't want them
to have to wear rags, so we must give them good clothes to wear.

  In order to get to computer classes and CompUSA for free upgrades, we
must provide them with free transportation.

  Once they have a free computer, they should be able to make use of
all of the knowledge they will gain from having access to the internet.

  But, we cannot expect them to go to work because they have been
deprived for years from access to the Internet.

  Next: Government rules forcing companies to hire the unqualified!
        Woops!  We have that already!  Okay, new rules forcing companies
        to hire and place in key positions those who have been held
        down by a lack of computers in their home.
