I see a way for the government to control you through taxing your
energy usage based on the time of day. Or, law enforcement seeing
your power usage and deciding that you must be doing something
illegal like growing pot in your basement. It's all about control,
I knew it when BeeHO started yapping about smart grid technology.
Control the energy supply, control access to health care, control
the flow of information (kill conservative talk radio) which will
lead to control of the citizenry which will turn them into
subjects. Hell people, just give up now!

Another FOX "news" viewer?


I listen to all of the news outlets when I get a chance, no favorite.


I applaud your quest for ecumenism, but the following are NOT news
outlets:
CNN
ABC
CBS
NBC
MSNBC
CNBC


But they are clearly a lot closer than Fox.
