Dave, you have previously distributed a number of items -- pro and con --
about cities' plans to offer wireless services, but this one is singularly
trenchant.

The ballad of Philadelphia

I read, with much enthusiasm, of Mayor Street's plan to make the city
wireless. Unfortunately, I can't afford a laptop because I was laid off from
my city job.

In fact, I can't afford a computer, which stinks because my kid, who used
our local library's computer, can't because of the cutbacks, which is just
as well because I was getting sick of him having to dodge bullets on his way
home. (What ever happened to that Safe Streets thing?) I'd pick him up, but
I bent the axle on my car driving into one of the million potholes in my
neighborhood, but good luck with the whole wireless thing.
