In Defense of Disposable Cell Phones

SomeoneYouDontKnow writes: "Disposable cell phones are finally hitting the market, and it sure is refreshing to see a major media outlet like the Los Angeles Times debunk the insane rush toward a surveillence state as promoted by John Ashcroft. Read this column by Dave Wilson for a sensible breath of fresh air." Thoughtful points made here -- the payphone analogy rings true to me.

I personally don't want a cell phone. I don't want to recieve calls. I don't want to be another one of those mother-fuckers tooling along tapping on the phone like a drugged monkey while not using their turn signals and basically driving thousand pound machines while thinking about nothing but their next fucking hair appointment. However, I wouldn't mind having a phone in my truck for the next time I leave my lights on all day and I need a lift. Stuff one of these in the glove compartment and I'm set.

This is one conspiracy against the poor that I'm all for...
