In Silicon Valley, the presence of a beeper is synomynous with one being a
technician or someone similar.  To keep the furnaces running, or whatever.
(Real Executives (TM), of course do not carry beepers.)

should we allow Georgia secede, we should kick them out.

All the more reason for the Bill of Rights to be scrupulously adhered to.
