Subject: Telecom Privacy Digest V1#031
The purchaser of a service gets to determine what it's good for. If
I buy cheap 300 baud modems because when jammed against my trailer tires,
they prevent the trailer from rolling away, the manufacturer doesn't get to
argue that I should use them to transmit data.

lnp (Lisa N Paradis):
I know what it is like to have uncontrollable emotions and I know what
it is like to feel alone. There have been times when I have felt that
nobody cares about me and that noone would care if I fell off the face
of the earth. There have been times when my own thoughts of "removing
myself from the world" have frightened me. Sometimes I wonder how I
managed to get through those times. I could not turn to my parents.
My father has been ill since I was eight years old -- because of the
medication he is on, most of the time his emotions are volatile and
noone can reason with him. My mother has exhausted herself trying to
care for this difficult person as well as to shield the children from
his temper.
After I came to college, I had some damn difficult, lonely and
depressing times. My father was going in and out of the hospital, the
company my mother worked for went bankrupt, my grades were on the
rocks, and noone cared. In the middle of all this, my boyfriend
walked out on me on my 19th birthday. Fearing lonliness, I went back
to the scum and dealt with the emotional abuse for another eight
months. Through all this, I couldn't talk to anyone about it... at
least not anyone who seemed to care....
The difficulties of the past put me into one heck of a screwed up
emotional and mental state. Finally, someone convinced me to get some
therepy. I decided to try it... afterall, it's free at MIT. After a
year of therepy, I have managed to do some long-awaited mental and
emotional cleanup. Talking to someone who is trying to understand
what is causing some of my feelings has helped immensely. I know that
MIT Medical is about the worst place on earth to go to for many
things, but the Psychiatry Department is really good.

therese (Suntioinen Therese M.):
Don't pull too hard, like a kite in the wind
You'll break the string, when I reel you in
Don't take off flying all on your own
When you finally come knocking, there'll be nobody home
Nobody Home
