All these gyrations just to be able to shutdown the home computer and access to Free Republic.
I am warning you folks, this stuff is really no joke dangerous. Dangerous, not just an inconvenience. Recently here in Cleveland we have been slammed by the sewer and water company. Some of what they are going to bill us for my community won’t be paying...we have our own water treatment plant for drinking water. But that is a rarity in NEO. The sewer fee is going up because of EPA requirements. The Cleveland water rate is going up 87% in the city and 50% to the suburbs that get Cleveland water. These rate increases will not be based on consumption, but will be billed as a “fee” to the consumer. This is the second increase claimed to be going to dealing with the aging infrastructure(where’s those 0bamafunds?). Now...the excuse given by the water company? There is not enough usage, we’re conserving too much to support the infrastructure.
The same thing is going to happen with the electricity. We already know we have an aging electrical system since a squirrel in Ohio can chew a line on a summer day and shut down the whole Northeast USA. You will not be billed for consumption, but if you live in an area you will be pay fees and fines. Seriously start looking for ways to get off the grid.
When people start freezing to death in the winter and building real fires to heat their homes, they make regulations that we can’t have heat on certain days due to pollution. They do this in California already. Running a gasoline powered generator will be a no-no too.
People are going to die as these crazy regulations come on-line.

Very possible. And if people must die, let’s make sure they are the ones doing the oppressing.
