if you think you want socialism, think about the phone company. How they deal with you and the BS you have to listen to. from them.

Every week I get a letter in the mail that tells me because I am such a good customer for my cellphone that AT&T will give a bundled rate for everything else. So I checked it out and guess what, I live in the east Bay Area and they don't have cable service to that location. Give me a break! These folks are jerks, all around.
