Caller ID

Now look. I have to PAY the dsl/cell/local/long distance/ballpark company to see who is calling me. An additional fee for Call Waiting Caller ID, like it's really so much more complicated than regular caller ID. If they are going to tell President Bush who's calling it seems only decent to inform me as well.

OK So there's a nerd in the corner wearing a cheap NSAT&T cap writing down every phone number, time, and duration of your teenage daughters phone usage. Can't tell you what he's going to do with all that data, we're in a time of war you know. It's not like it's some monster with a gun or one of those DateLine child molesters.

Do you know what this collection of data is now worth? It is the ULTIMATE reality show. It is pure treasure.

So is it civil disobedience if I pick up my phone and call a random number? What if we all call the White House just to check-in?
