What'sNext?

Free Cell Phone service in the US for low income people. What is going to be next? I saw the commercial yesterday on CNN and I could not believe my eyes. So what is next? Government supported internet and computers? Wait, has that already happened?

Now I am a personal safety guru, and the TV commercial is shot from a personal safety aspect but give me a break! The people in the commercial are talking about finally being able to call all their friends and family, on the tax payer!

A cell phone can be a great self defense tool. You can call the police from anywhere with it. However the way most people walk down the street talking on them makes them 100 times more vulnerable to the criminal elements.

If we really want to help the out of luck Americans, and the unemployed let's give them new skills so they can get jobs! They don't need government supported cell phones.

I've got an idea. Recycle old phones on a pay as you go basis. Keep the government out of it!
