Is it wrong that I actually found that kind of funny? You can just imagine that message being read by an AOL lady or HAL.
I dare someone to say that this will never happen here.
going off grid is looking increasingly reasonable.
I have a simple answer to all this crud.
I DON’T USE A CELL PHONE!
Never had one, never used one, don’t need one.
Still in touch. Still connected. Still know what’s going on.
CB radios. All that’s old is new again.
Your base are belong to us?
The know when you’re awake, they know when you’re asleep, they know when you’re good or bad, and when you on your smartphone keep!
Don’t take your cell phone when you’re joining a riot. Or if you do get caught up in a riot, take out the batteries.

“Hey Bill, can I borrow your phone?”
They’re more honest than our gummint —they DISCLOSED to the people that they had that capability and the will to use it.
Our Criminals are considerably more devious, as they’ve been doing this for *at least* 10 years. They simply haven’t actually TOLD us.

Our guv regards a healthy civil interest in politics as SUSPICIOUS —we are threats.
We’re supposed to be gnashing our green teeth at tractor pulls and Nascar events, or maybe WWF events with baroque characters like The Undertaker.
The government view is that STUPID IS NORMAL AND GOOD.

It’s nice that they acknowledge that you have properly registered to joint the protest...
If the protesters are even modestly creative, they won’t need cell phones to oganize, act, or whatever. I can also see:
Dissident to Mom: Please take my cell phone with you today to (location 10 km away from the protest.)
Dissident now has “proof” he or she was not at the protest.
