<Federal Communications Commission Chairman William Kennard, scheduled to join the president to
make the telephone service announcement in Shiprock, N.M., said he expects the plan to benefit
300,000 Indian households.
``It is disgraceful that we have a telephone system that is the envy of the world, but basic
telecommunications services are not widely enjoyed by our land's oldest people,' Kennard said in a statement.>
Whoa!! Good move QUALCOMM! Giving sacred, really, really old people a puter will help things along.
No way will Clinton or Gore allow an 'antitrust' action against an Indian-giver. This is a really cunning ploy by QUALCOMM to suck up to the politicians who wield power like megalomaniacs. Silly $ill Gates would have in the past simply told them to get lost as he was too busy making great software. QUALCOMM knows to stay on the megalomaniac's good side.
I hope these are purebred Indians and there isn't any African-American or that really top quality Irish-American DNA mixed in with that really excellent Indian DNA. It would not be fair to allow any of these puters to go to the wrong DNA. And let's hope they make a special effort for the XX chromosomes in that Indian DNA.
Has the USA reinstituted DNA testing to ensure only the right people get stuff? I suppose that's what the human genome project is for.
What are really poor, really old American-Indians going to do with these puters anyway?
What is so special about really old people living on reservations anyway?
Are they a kind of household pet, which you keep on a reservation, and give a puter to see if they can type out the bible after hundreds have typed randomly forever? Do Americans go on tours in their Winnebagos [with Globalstar phone] to amuse themselves by looking at these weird sort of pre-homosapiens?
Will Tiger Woods get a puter? I suppose being so DNA diluted he'll be excluded. To get the puter you probably have to have a government-approved residential address on a government-approved reservation and a taxable income less than $40,000 and no assets.
300,000 Indian households? Wow! Are there that many purebreds left without $40,000 a year income? They are definitely NOT an endangered species!
Go apartheid! Lots of luck re-establishing it folks. You'll need it...
Go Q! No anti-trust for us. No way do we want to be involved in trust or trusts.
