I am sure it will not be possible to pull the wool over their eyes

I don’t know about that; I’ve seen some unbelievable insults to one’s intelligence which include, OJ going free, this last election (you’ve got to wonder even if you’re a republican)

the fact that you can’t sue the phone company for accidently listing your business phone number as a number not listed by request of owner (it cost the guy his business which until that year had been very lucrative but he couldn’t figure out what was wrong until it was too late; and I guess there was some trouble getting it changed back at the phone company too, or something like that) and anyway not being listed in the phone book and then the 3 or 4 month’s it took to find out the number was listed as a “private number” and he went out of biz.

So he tried to sue them and it turns out there’s a law on the books that says you can’t sue a utility company for anything more than loss of life or limb, or something like that; so anyway, the guy lost everything because the phone company screwed up and yet he had no recourse.

so do I think they can get away with it? It wouldn’t be the biggest nor the most blatant injustice that I’ve ever seen, that’s for sure.

and in this case, they’ve got the ol’ “we are just doing what is best for you and the country” theme song to lean on.

Neither OJ nor the phone company were near well as armed.
