| "Me, me, me"?
Well, it certainly beats the alternative, which is a chronic case of being bent over with one's pants around one's ankles.
You might also take notice of the fact that few of the benefits of the "economies of scale" that all these mergers and acquisitions in the telecom and cable industries ever seem to filter down to the lumpen proletariat, whom, you must admit, pays the bills.
You need but ask any Comcast subscriber about that. |

| And unreasonable. They just refuse to accept that we now live in The Age of The Goddess Ayn Rand, where giants walk the earth and refuse to be bound by the petty laws, made by jealous lessers, passed to fetter them from attaining their true greatness and just rewards. They are our New Nobility, destined to greatness by God.
It is the responsibility of everyone to happily accept every baseless increase in their bills, every announcement of executive pay increases and packages that soar beyond the astronomical, every degraded service and every customer support depredation. For verily, they benefit giants and we are fortunate to breathe the same air as them. |

| Personally, I think that any consumer who can't see that a free market and deregulation are the path to the holy land should probably be shaved and sterilized. I say this only among friends who understand that we can only find true peace and happiness through a total lack of accountability and the death of humanism. |
