I just read a wonderful post about using the men's room at the downtown Borders in Chicago. The blogger's husband whom she's quoting is Scots, and she does a good job reproducing his accent.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It was reported that AOL and Yahoo are thinking of an email tax. Not sure what the timeline or feasibility is.

I just got an email from MoveOn.org asking me to sign a petition to prevent AOL from starting to charge an email tax.
I believe it's an email tax for business email. Sort of like official spam.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Why is it so difficult for me to call a painter and get my apartment painted?

So MoveOn's not trying to protect us from vicious email taxes, so much as they're trying to save themselves from the same.

I just got an email from MoveOn.org asking me to sign a petition to prevent AOL from starting to charge an email tax.
As I understand it, AOL and Yahoo claim that by charging half a cent per email (or whatever), they'll be able to cut down on spammers who send emails to a million people at once. However, legitimate groups who send out mass emails (MoveOn.org, for example) would also feel a pinch if this goes through.
