Congress likes to make choices – a lot. Every choice that Congress makes is one less choice that you get to make.
Today, Congress chose to force you to pay for 911 services if you use VoIP. It doesn’t matter if you want 911 or not.
I’ve called 911 before and been told they were too busy to send anyone. People abuse the system all the time. Operators are often poorly educated and poorly paid, as well as unethusiastic, displaying all the typical personal concern about your problem(s) you’ve come to expect from bureaucrats. Sure, 911 saves lives, sometimes. But it should not be forced on me, especially if it costs me money.
I don’t appreciate other people making choices for me. Congress sucks. I wish they would focus on real problems.
