I am solidly with Mike, Charis, and Oprah on the question of cell phones. Why do people need to be constantly available, for crying out loud? I think the defensive anger you cell phoners exhibit in the face of those who eschew them reveals that you yourselves are somewhat ambivalent about them.
And about the fellow who got stranded in the airport because he didn't have a cell phone, are you telling me it was absolutely impossible for him to gain access to a land line?
I am also with Mike on the subject of Lady Gaga.
