| | The Bright Side of Blackouts by Ofer Zur, Ph.D. |
 | | However, the most traumatic effects of the flouts apparently were on the millions of tax paying and law abiding citizens who lost their ability to visit E-bay, exchange e-mails or, heaven forbid, buy or trade on-line for a whole hour or two. |
 | | The second reason I like the flouts is that they may open for scrutiny the unexamined sense of entitlement of the Western World, and of California in particular. |
 | | We are not only entitled to freedom, happiness and the right to bear arms, but also to bigger, faster and taller SUV's regardless of their contribution to air pollution and global warming, depletion of energy sources, or the extensive damage they inflict in collisions. |
