All of which is why I refuse to own a cell phone. I value my privacy and the fact that I cannot be reached with the touch of a button. I cannot understand the mentality that is so frightened of being alone that they must connect themselves via electronics to the world at large.

One cannot be a paid-up member of the human race without some contact with ones fellows but this goes to extremes. We also NEED down time; time to recharge our batteries, time to mull over events and try to see how they fit into our lives. We cannot do this unless the society as a whole agrees that everyone has the right to be left the hell alone if they so desire it.

Or something like that.
