In other news, cell phone companies do not want people to know that it doesn't cost them anything to shuttle all those text messages around, and if you go to the Sunflower Market nearest my house, and some teenager decides to shoplift a bottle of alcohol, the store employees are not exactly sure how much force they're allowed to use to stop him. He essentially walked out of the store while people yelled at him.
