  20. A story:
  21.  
  22.     During a Senate hearing, a proposed new high speed network was refered
  23. to as a "data highway."  One Senator, not impressed by the need for such a
  24. facility said, "Why do we need a data highway when we have a perfectly good
  25. concrete one?"
  26.  
  27.     Now you know why "the government" continues to establish and promote
  28. regulations that fly in the face of common sense.
  29.  
  30.                     Happy New Year!
