Of course. Easier than home invasions or holding children hostage. They did a lot of that around here too. Probably still do, but I don't get much local news since I canceled the local fishwrap. -- Cheers, Bev "Go back to sleep, citizen. Your government has everything under control." -Bill Hicks |

There's a huge local Asian population, many of whom are extremely well off. Many remain in China, but buy houses in a nearby wealthy city with an excellent school system and send their children to live alone to go to school. Several of these children were held hostage. BTW, the Do Not Call List is fairly worthless. Before getting Ooma we received several calls a day from local home remodeling people who claimed to not know what the DNCL was. They probably didn't. Ooma is ~$5/month after buying the device -- $80 is the lowest price I've seen it for. We also bought a Sentry 2 device, which screens out ALL robocalls and 98% of the spammers. -- Cheers, Bev "History I believe furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government." -- letter from Thomas Jefferson to Baron vonHumboldt, 1813 |
