you know, as someone who subscribed to this group thinking that i'd
find some interesting discussions on the future of computers and
computing, i must say that all i see are the dogma armies battling
for the high ground (and not finding any).

now, as a stranger here, i ask, "does anyone have any serious
proposals for funding a `public' network?" i mean serious, you know,
like we should do A and then B and a little bit of C to accomplish D.
or should the 'u' key be depressed? cause if comp.soc.futures is just
alt.politics, i got better things to do.

yeah, yeah, i know, "Who the hell are you? And how'd you get in
here?" well i stumbled thru the door and thought i might learn
something ... i hope i wasn't wrong.
