What drives super productive, accomplished, and perfectly normal [1] people to such extremes?The insulting idea that, as Shaw puts it, "they thought just because we're old enough to get Social Security that we lack both brains and backbone."Taking a Whack Against Comcast - washingtonpost.com highlights the BEST of Brains and Backbone. This lady got WAY more than here money's worth for the very paltry price of "a three-month suspended sentence for disorderly conduct, a $345 fine in restitution and a year-long restraining order barring her from the Comcast office." Congratulations, Mona! Well done!Note [1]: "She is a nice lady who lives in a nice house. She and Don are both retired from the Air Force (she was a registered nurse). They have been married 45 years. She is secretary of the local AARP, secretary of a square-dancing club and takes in strays for the local animal shelter (they have seven dogs at the moment). She has a heart condition. She lifts weights at a local gym. The couple attend a Unitarian Universalist church."
