Our buddy, Zombie posts “The first five Presidential Emergency Text Messages<\/a>“. of course it’s in reference to the new alert system the Administration put in place that’s going to warn us about potential disasters and terrorist attacks. it sounds like a fairly good idea, but the people who call themselves “pro-choice” aren’t giving you a choice, in this case;<\/p>\n

\u201cPresidential and local emergency messages as well as Amber Alerts would appear on cell phones equipped with special chips and software.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The nation\u2019s top cell phone carriers (Verizon and AT&T) are already signed on for the system, but users can opt out of receiving the local alerts and Amber alerts. However, no one will be able to out of the Presidential Alerts, which as a result will eventually become compulsory for all cell phone users nationwide:<\/p>\n

Consumers would be able to opt out of all but those presidential messages.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

My concern is that this is a gateway for the “right” to have a cellphone like all of those other “rights” that have been discovered recently – the right to privacy, patient rights, passenger rights – well, you know. <\/p>\n

Of course, the only people who don’t have cellphones can’t afford them (or want one), so the government will have to mandate someone to give them a phone so they can be warned along with the rest of us of late buses and Republicans coming to make us worship their God or whatever other tragedy we’re going to learn about through this system. <\/p>\n

But someone is going to have to pay for the poor people’s phones and it’s probably going to be me…and, oh, yeah, you, too. And then you’ll have to pay for those text messages, too. And the taxes on those text charges. Either that or the government will make cellphone companies give them phones and then our rates will go up to pay for them.<\/p>\n
