I got a call from a very stressed sounding manager at a store in a bad neighborhood of Albuquerque and explained that the outage was statewide, and I'd already called the next highest level.
His response: "You don't understand! These people carry guns."
Republicans, eh? Since the incident preceded the formation of the Tea Party?
The German economies capacity for goods and services is less because of their inefficient energy strategy than it otherwise would be.
So Germany's economic capacity is crippled by their energy costs - and Germany pays their workers twice as much as America does - and Germany still produces twice as many cars as the U.S. does?? And Germany serves as Europe's de facto banker?

On the one hand, a challenge response...on the other hand, a political response designed to defuse.
I guess they're soliciting a mixed response to their response.
a commitment to a “free and unfettered internet.”
We had a "free and unfettered internet"...and then the spammers-, virus coders-, and hackers-for-profit moved in.
But again, you're dealing with your average consumer who's as ignorant about the technology as this reporter, if not moreso.
Exactly! That's why the personal computer and the cell phone failed.
He who has but four and spends five has no need for a wallet.
