While I think your efforts to link low-income neighborhoods to the
internet are worthwhile and admirable, I think that perhaps your
criticism of HUD is far too simplistic. If you don't contribute to
Greenpeace, does that mean you want all the whales to die?
There's far too much of that "if you're not 100% with me, you're my
enemy" stuff going on.
