I told him "That's just what we need: more government and less privacy." He sort of chuckled and gave me a pamphlet and told me I needed to call and tell them I refused. I responded by saying 'they can put another check next to my name, which is probably already on a list anyway.' What do ya do, ya know? Apparently Americans are quite willing to take it up the ass. /shrug. I'm probably among the 1 in 50,000 who tell them 'no.' |

They have basically taken 9 of 10 rights from us in the Bill of Rights, and no one has done a fucking thing. Now, they don't really need our guns, because we're apparently not going to use them. Don't get me wrong, I'm very very pro-2A, it's just annoying. I keep asking myself if I'm in the fucking "Twilight Zone." |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 71077938 Canada 03/14/2016 09:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Where I live they just kept trying to convince the holdouts (and there were lots of them) to have the meter changed. They even got sneaky and installed them when the homeowners were away. Eventually they said fine keep the old meters but pay an extra $30 a month. Quite a few people did that for a while but almost all eventually broke down and allowed the smart meters to be installed.

If you have a wifi antenna for your internet then you are using the same frequency. Every time you are out in public you are bombarded with a soup of EMF frequencies including those deemed 'radiation' Your cell phone and microwave use EMF frequencies in the 'radiation' zone |

That’s right — FOUR. Arcing in ‘smart’ meters causes extreme heat, which causes fires. As we now see, it is beyond any shadow of a doubt that meter manufacturers know, utilities know, and regulators know. They have known the whole time, but they didn’t want to tell you. |

I fought them no end, reported the to the commission, wrote letters .... everything. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71293830 I stopped them a couple of times, and one day I went out with the kids, dam they came and put it. I think they monitor if you are leaving so you cannot stop them. I bought a huge aluminum mesh, and put it in the garage behind the meter so the radiation somehow reflects back. I hope it works, luckily I live in a corner lot. You can find a big tin can and put it on top, and they won't even be able to read it, but I have not done that. Maybe you can be charge with vandalism? I hate these dam corporation, we should not be forced to do their will. Watch that Canadian show continuum. This!!! So far in Oklahoma you can't refuse if you want electricity. |
