Quote of the Year

Sorry to disappoint all the millions who have been dying for me to post again. I have been focusing most of my attention on my Meijer blog and quite frankly my life hasn't been all that interesting lately. However, I just stumbled upon a quote when reading a forum about the iphone. The users name is Yadmonkey, whatever that means.
He said,
Picking a cellular service feels like choosing a presidential candidate... you end up going with the choice which is slightly less nauseating.
I don't know that I have ever heard anything more true. I am actually pretty happy with my current cell phone carrier, but there are still far to many times that things don't work quiet right or the bill gets messed up and you have to spend hours on the phone with some guy in India, or your phone doesn't do half the stuff it should be able to.
It just seems that in the land of the free with both politics and markets driven by the consumer, we would have some better choices and better service. Do we just settle for mediocrity because we don't really get to choose, or is the majority of our citizenry made up of people who like junk?
Never mind, I just saw an ad for Wal-Mart.
