They can show that they tried to contact you. Can you show that you
tried to pay them? Did you bother to check into why you weren't
receiving bills?
Does that law state anywhere that they must have a signed reciept from
you? How long are they supposed to go without payment. If that law is
strictly enforced, as stated, then people can simply return their mail
unopened and state incorrect address and have free power for years on
end.
You were 3 months behind on your bill. Be happy if they split the
difference with you.

From: Alan Truism
One of my co-workers has decided to stop flushing the urinal in order to
address the problems presented by a local drought.
I'm all for water conservation, but I don't really care to get his piss on
me from urinal splash back. I now have to flush both before and after I pee.
As a result, I have resorted to carrying around a bottle of red
food coloring in my pocket. Whenever I go to the bathroom I drop enough
of the dye in the urinal to make it look like someone filled the bowl
with bloody urine.
I've been doing it for a couple of days now. I am hoping that eventually he
is going to break down and and start flushing, simply for fear of catching
the clap.
I know it is grossing him out because I overheard him mention the bloody
urine to someone in the hall this afternoon. If he doesn't start flushing
soon, however, I am going to have to find some synthetic gleet.

ps. Sometimes it burns when I pee.

Yep, unaffordable.

That would have to continue too.

That will happen anyway.

Yep, because that alone wont do a damned thing, you
have to have gorillas in boots with guns to do something
about those who choose to cross those borders.

Thats what they are.

Just another of your silly little drug crazed fantasys.

Iraq wont accept the US gunning down anyone who moves across the border from the air.

And the first time that is a car full of kids/refugees etc, there

The elected Iraqis are already pissed off about goons killing anyone they feel like like that.

The problem aint the technology, stupid.

Wont do a damned thing about the fools killing people inside the country.

Pity about the elected Iraqis actually allowing the US to kill anyone they like.

And if the borders were made completely secure, they'd just change
over to using what was left after Sadam scuttled off to his rat hole.
