Agreed.

Had they warned us they were doing this, we *would* have gone elsewhere
long before this was an issue.  We're still going to go elsewhere, but now
we're screwed until the new line drops.

We're bandaided with a jury-rigged tunnel, so it's painful but not deadly
(for *us* - whatabout MomAndPopBusinessDSLuser?), so wasting money on
lawyerlarvae is not a good use of resources.  But the point remains that
this is BULLSHIT!  DO YOU HEAR ME SOUTHWESTERN BELL??  F*@#&^ YOU!!

 Civilization is in a tailspin - everything is backwards, everything is
upside down- doctors destroy health, psychiatrists destroy minds, lawyers
destroy justice, the major media destroy information, governments destroy
freedom and religions destroy spirituality - yet it is claimed to be
healthy, just, informed, free and spiritual. We live in a social system
whose community, wealth, love and life is derived from alienation,
poverty, self-hate and medical murder - yet we tell ourselves that it is
biologically and ecologically sustainable.

The Bush plan to screen whole US population for mental illness clearly
indicates that mental illness starts at the top.
