So let me get this straight: You (and I) truly believe that the telcos have proof positive location on our landlines and cells, and this data is collected whole hog by the govt, but BUT somehow they cant locate a caller having a heart attack on long island. You know, the govt has the systems it deserves, and I really dont care to hear whining about pencil and paper. It takes no longer to write down on pencil and paper a 911 call and theres a mandatory handoff anyway. This has nothing to do with the folks working the phones not being up to par. They are. It has everything to do with big telcos and govt contractors holding taxpayers hostage. We dont need them. Use the pencil and paper, make a phone call to the next dept. That takes the same amount of time as data entry. Grow up, be a human being and stop pretending that life and death situations are some variant of farmville.
