We'll know soon
Yesterday I wagered Broadband Access would come up mid morning today, like it did last Friday. Let's hope it does.
Meanwhile, I have a slow connection at the moment (about 5:30 am) and I'm going to try and get a bit done here on the site.
Grumble.
[Update] Nope - access didn't come back up, except for a few minutes in the afternoon. At least that I'm aware of - I didn't sit here watching a static screen all day. A neighbor across the way seems to have better, though spotty access than I do. I wonder if my modem and router are in need of an update.

Site 7 - Oliver Lee Memorial State Park, Alamogordo NM
- Verizon cell phone service - good signal
- Verizon EVDO service - very good signal and access speed ( I have to qualify this - during my January 2008 visit the signal and access speed was excellent - in January 2009 it was practically non-existent during the day and slow at night with unpredictable short periods of excellent access)

This is Easy
Naturally, the common people don't want war, but after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.
