  1. Re:Liability for missed 911 call? on Angry AT&T Customers May Disrupt Service · · Score: 1

    some funny things happen with cell phones when you dial 911 - they are not treated as a general phone call.

    Welcome to unregulated "capitalism", where a bunch of slick lunatics in $2,000 suits eat all of their seed corn in the spring, then piss and moan in the fall that they're starving, before demanding that the peasants come feed them.

    One of these days, the peasants are gonna wise up, and our fatted executive class is gonna find itself on the dinner plate.

    Ironic turn of phrase considering Stalin's Agricultural policies. Maybe it isn't "capitalism" but "humans."
