I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I assumed it would go in a more Harriet Beecher Stowe direction.

On urbanedictionary.com, maybe.

HE multiplied by HE equals SHE. What numbers are being represented?

I looked up mine for facebook, and it made me laugh and laugh:

My dad would argue that deregulation ruined airlines.

I've heard this a lot, though mind you, usually from people who work for airlines. But it maps closely enough to what I've seen in *other* industries that I can't just dismiss it out of hand as sour grapes from workers.

As for telco dereg, the media consolidation that followed wasn't what I'd call a net positive for humanity.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

As for telco dereg, the media consolidation that followed wasn't what I'd call a net positive for humanity.

I will note that usual benefits touted for telco dereg, cell phones, broad band and so forth were achieved in many other nations WITHOUT dereg. Dereg is one path, and a lot of nations took it, but there are other paths that work as well or better. I will note that broadband in the U.S. is slower than in many other nations, and is not available everywhere. Lots of poor rural areas don't have decent broadband available, and a fair number of poor urban areas as well.

'Cause there's not enough money in it, and without regulations the companies have no reason to put themselves out by serving those areas.
