Well, as far what is necessary and what is not... Being a woman.. I'm
watching and taking care of 2 networks in 2 different cities 70 miles
apart... using the internet and phone.. Landline. Washing clothes, cleaning
house, cooking a meal. Watching TV. Had a T-1 go out in the furthest city..
None of this is possible without electricity.. So a candle, shooting a
rabbit, ugh!.. but they are 2 deer about 25 feet from my kitchen window.
Guess I could shoot one of them.
I maybe missing everyone's point.. but people will pay for what they get..
As long as you give them what they want.. without too much Hassel..
My 2cents worth!

Ok Butch. Lets take a test. Go to your office and your home and
unplug all your landlines and turn off all the cell phones for 1
week and lets see what happens.
OUCH! I am cold and hungry. Turning pale. My hair is falling out
(prolly not related. :-) ).
Any rate, If I did this, I would not be happy and I couldn't work,
but I WOULD NOT die. Not sure what this "test" would prove...
It is not really a fair "test" anyway. This would be the equivalent
of removing the wrenches from a mechanic. These tools are directly
part of what I do for a living. They are not incidental to HELP me
do my job, they ARE my job (so to speak).
Perhaps I am missing your point. These things (telephone and
internet access) are both very important both from a cultural AND a
business standpoint. I agree with you (and others) that both are a
very important part of American life. Am I missing something else?
Do you suggest that everyone who is an American should (by some
unwritten rule) have a "right" to these things? Even if they can't
afford it, should we come up with a way to subsidize it? I am not
"baiting" you, I am simply not seeing the "point" you are trying to
make.
