Hey sorry, Richard Corbeil, you are wrong. Without the public libraries in the state of Alaska, we have nothing. How do expect others to get jobs, tuition, etc,  without the internet. I have been told by the Librarian out at Unalalska that also the free internet there for the poor and  desperate out at Unalaska shall also be cut.  

BTW, I have no "family niceties" ~ like dinners out, etc.: I have not gone out for dinner for over a year, have not bought clothes for over two years, not left the island for over two years cause it is a $1,2000 ticket RT to ANC and due to the poor medicare in the state, could not get medical and had to rack up $70,000 on credit cards just to be responsible and pay my bills.  I will either have to go bankrupt or live in poverty for ten years just to get back to ground zero which will be your bill if I choose the worse down the road. And now, in comparison, you illustrate that others can not use the internet to go online to see their alternatives?
