You know, it's really too bad the electric companies weren't more forward thinking. They should have fought for the right to approve what type of appliances could be plugged into the electric grid. Just think how much progress we could have made as a society! Perhaps even flying cars and teleportation. But because they didn't see what was coming, now all I have is a crappy dishwasher, high def tv, and a mac book. AT&T fought the good fight to keep its phone lines pure, but sadly the evil competition haters in the government saw an end to that. Now look at the cesspool we live it. My rotary phone broke last week and I won't be able to get a replacement for months. If only it were possible to carry a phone around in my pocket. I'm sure AT&T would have created one for us if the government had just let them continue to control their customers with an iron fist. Oh well, I guess it give me more time to live in a the fantasy world in my head where government regulation makes competition possible. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
