Man, that wasn't even technically feasible back when Raygun was running around shooting his mouth off talking about it.
Talk about delusional.
Not to mention the fact that it wasn't financially feasible.

Yet, today, almost of the same douchebag Republicans that thought Raygun's dumb idea was just great back in the 80s, are now whining about a website going down once in awhile.
Incredible.
