I have to laugh at some these posts. I also lived in a world without cell phones and I (and the rest of the world) did just fine. Turning off your phones at a concert is not a big deal at all.

We do subsidize poor states. You speak as though Red states contribute anything to the federal government. With the exception of Texas, Georgia and some oil rich states, all of the Red states are takers and just about all of the Blue states
