I pay for the electric that comes into my house but the courts have
deceided that it's illegal for me to run power to my door knobs to ward
off door to door salesmen & hari chrisna's.
People that paid to stay in the hotel next to the new statium for the
maple leafs, but were threatened (and/or) arrested for undressing or whatever
with the window shades open. If it were your house, they would have been
peeping toms, but guess that doesn't work in a hotel.
Life isn't fair all over, but stealing cable services should be simple...
