TracFone's subsidized program, called Safelink Wireless, gives users at least 68 minutes of free cell service each month — in Colorado, it would be 83 minutes — and unlimited access to 911 service even if the minutes are used up.

OK, the 911 stuff I understand. So why do they so desperately need the other 83 minutes?

I can't imagine how people in this country lived 200 plus years without a cell phone... Oh, wait a minute I lived about 10 years after college without one... So yes, I can imagine... Amazingly I survived...

What's your beef?

Don't you know that the black market needs a little stimulus too?

They have a 'right' to a lot of stuff, like free computers. I'm thinking about becoming poor so I can get all this free stuff.

I could be wrong, but I don't really thinks it's as sweet a deal as you imagine.

I think China exports it's toxic waste that way
