127. A child's benefit, though scant, is often more than what these people live on, depending on the

We should try to change the system--and it CAN be changed, by doing two simple things--first, by telling BEST BUY that they are assholes and we will not patronize them so long as they continue to screw over the technologically deprived as a marketing ploy, and second, by doing everything we can, as a nation, to reduce the Digital Divide in this country. That means making internet access more readily available to the poor, particularly in inner cities and areas of rural poverty, putting more computers in senior centers, libraries and youth centers that serve the poorest among us, and providing education and training to people in accessing technology.

We DON'T, as a nation, do this. We suck at it. And if you're old on a fixed income, or a kid in a poor home, or either of the foregoing and not white to boot, you can be damn sure help is slowest in coming on this score.

I can't believe that I even have to explain this shit to Democrats--it's mind-boggling.
