3. Return? They never went away
We're experiencing the same old shit that's been going on for years which created the mess we're in.

Corporations morphing into Empires, and our politicians doing NOTHING to stop it.

5. Remember a few years ago when the telcos were handing over records to the feds
without a warrant? I was with Sprint, one of the offenders, & I dropped them & went with one of the few companies that didn't hand over their records. (can't remember their name) Two months later, Sprint bought out that company. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

It's a no win situation. The corpos have us where they want us - between a rock & a hard place.

4. The AT&T of today has nothing to do with the AT&T of old.
It's a company that used to be known as Cellular One, then Cingular. They bought the rights to the AT&T name, that's all.

The AT&T of old is actually Verizon today.
