Strong Communities

     Preppers of all stripes are getting their 15 minutes of fame these days. Those blinded to the vulnerabilities of our modern society are now waking up. That's awesome! It's good to build up a foodbank at home as well as ammunition and guns. As is buying gold and or silver, and learning to grow your own food. However, the most important thing to have is community. 

    With a strong community of like-minded people, anything can be done. Just take a look at what a north Idaho internet provider did yesterday: 

The newly updated email by North Idaho internet provider

Customers,

As you know we sent out a email yesterday that was supposed to say if you want to be blocked from Twitter or Facebook please email, text or call us.

This is for the customers that have expressed they want it blocked to make it easier for us to do it for them, if you don’t want to be added to the block list then you don’t have to do anything as you wont be added to that list instead you will continue with no blocks just like always.

We believe that everyone deserves to make a choice and our customers that have called and emailed have expressed to be blocked (not All of them just a lot of them) so we sent out a email to everyone asking if they wanted to be blocked or unblocked. Guess we should have been more clear in the email if you don’t reply back or contact us you Will Still be able to connect to these sites.

We do not take any position other than we don’t condone what any of these companies are doing.

As a lot customers have stated. They do not want their children or their family connecting to these sites and do not have the know how to stop them from appearing so they asked us to do it for them. As IT guys Know its not easy programing a firewall for the people that don’t deal with it on a day to day basis and if they tried they can basically shut their internet off complete causing even more issues and websites they cannot go to. That is why we elected to do a Block list for those customers and send a email out asking who all wants to be added to it so we can get it done in a short time and be done with it.

This in no way is a total shut down from seeing these sites and if you read it as that, that is far from the truth, there is to many customers that use those sites for work and business and family just the ones asking will be blocked.

    Take about empowering! The future belongs to those who show up and remember the devil requires your consent. So, start building a community of like-minded people.
