It's Time!
It's time for all the State and The Federal Attorney Generals to get off their collective backsides, and commence full legal action against the reformed Bells and all others in the telecom providers in the market, to protect the end users privacy in accordance with the enacted regulations, and jail all those who choose to profit from the end users private information!

If they choose otherwise, the privacy laws, will just remain meaningless paper laws!

too late........
hip hop you dont stop... yah, at least Verizon had the decency to send me a post card of an elephant standing on a beachball that was bouncing.... this was about the time some foes branded me a terrorist or something... you know, give the the 27yrold a kick in the butt, so he'll make decisions more like his elders... or for that matter, act more like some pigion hole "local", I wont say the ******* "H" word... that would be racist... well, I just was enjoying myself, free from a job, exploring the very last drip of what was left of my childhood.. though I spent most of my teens and twenties studying and working for software companies... Maui was nice, it was also a test market for some 3g broadband thing... and well, unfortanitly I paid cash for my service and misspelled my name... and well, the rest is history........ if you can afford to retrieve it...........
