    I live in philadelphia. I would not feel safe without a land line in the house. Two cell phones or not.

    If I lived in Philly, I wouldn't feel safe without a howitzer, an M-60, and booby-trapped windows. I'd wear kevlar to bed. I'd crouch-roll on the way to the bathroom.

    But yeah, keeping a land-line is a good start.
