Fortune.com - Value Driven - Admit It: You, Too, Are Paris Hilton
Topic: Society 9:46 am EST, Dec 18, 2003

What's your reaction? Laughing? Loathing? Fine—but be careful. Because the truth is, if average Americans of even 30 to 40 years ago could see us today, they'd think we were all spoiled just as rotten as any young Trump, Newhouse, or Bloomberg.

You know it's true. How many televisions do you have? Do you even know? How many channels do you get? Do your kids refuse to watch black-and-white programs? No one had a VCR in 1970. Now 240 million of us do, but VCRs are history now that Wal-Mart is selling DVD players for $29.

] She stated that the existing law only covers analog, not
] digital cable theft--giving the impression that, without
] this new bill, digital cable theft is legal.

Read about the obvious lies that various lobbying organizations told the Tennessee legislature yesterday.

U: If you really want to get your blood boiling wait until you get to the place where these mother fuckers tell the legislature that having wifi access points in your home helps terrorists!

] out of the labs and into homes and offices, forcing

] so unreliable that drivers carried tool kits and learned

] fairly predictable pattern," said Harvard Business School
