Fiberoptic maybe unnecessary.
Thom suggested that fiberoptic cable be laid whenever freeway construction/repair is done. I don't know if the information is accurate, but I heard or read somewhere that cable is only needed the last 500 or however many feet from a hub to residences and businesses; everything else is done wireless or satellite so long runs of cable are unnecessary.

My mom was recently surprised to be in a room of mostly liberal CFPs, including herself. They're more common than you think.

From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
Cruz vs. McCarthy
I thought it was just me, but a week ago I noticed that there is a resemblence of Ted Cruz to Joe McCarthy.
