-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My proposal for funding the Internet is pretty simple. I vote we institute an "Information Superhighway" tax, the proceeds of which will be used to fund network infrastructure. The way this would work is simple - every time someone uses the words "Information Superhighway" or any of its derivatives we strike them with a sharp object and make them pay a $10 fee (of course, the sharp object is not actually needed to make this scheme work, it's just in there because it seems an appropriate thing to do...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
