Liberals have a long-standing
tradition of thinking that anything remotely complicated needs to be regulated,
controlled, and run by a committee and bureaucratic organization. That
organization is, occasionally, a large corporation, but, more often than not,
it is usually the government to which they clamor to get help. Which makes
this story from
Orcas Island, Washington, so beautiful. (hat tip to here for
the story.)
If you didn’t know it, Washington State,
like pretty much the rest of the Left Coast (with a few parts of Northern
California being a notable exception), is overwhelmingly liberal and begging
for government to run their lives. The residents of Orcas Island, on the other
hand, when they couldn’t get good, consistent internet service, decided to do
it themselves. Jon Brodkin writes,
“Faced
with a local ISP that couldn’t provide modern broadband, Orcas Island
residents designed their own network and built it themselves. The nonprofit Doe
Bay Internet Users Association (DBIUA), founded by Sutton, Brems, and a few
friends, now provide Internet service to a portion of the island. It’s a
wireless network with radios installed on trees and houses in the Doe Bay
portion of Orcas Island. Those radios get signals from radios on top of a water
tower, which in turn receive a signal from a microwave tower across the
water in Mount Vernon, Washington.” That’s
right, they took control of the situation and said, “Alright, we’ll deal with
this,” and they did.
This is a completely un-liberal
attitude. This is one of the key fundamental attitudes that the people of our
country need to return to if we want to have a country worth living in for our
kids and grandkids to live in. This is the attitude that I want around me and
my family, and the news media should be trumpeting this type of story instead
of Al Sharpton.
What do you think: Orcas Island
residents: heroes or guilty of treason (I’m sure liberals would think so)?
