OPT IN OR DIE.

This is what we call today a "public-private partnership". This is why I flinch whenever people talk about database integration and homeland security and using various Wackenhuts and Pinkertons to guard us.

God help us, they're using the direct marketers to decide who shall be saved now.

I disagree. Opting out of marketing shouldn't opt you out of the warning that San Onofre has just blown its top and the plutonium cloud is coming.

And get trampled by 10,000,000 other Orange Countians in a stupid lemming-like act of 'only the stupid, inhumane, and violent will survive'.

But your point stands. 911 is a special number, and that should probably go both ways. Even if I were to adopt some uber-conspiracy theory that 'only unquestioning capitalist drones will be allowed to survive the fallout', it still does not make sense that only those people would be allowed to track down the kidnapping victims. Unless, of course, they're assuming that I have her locked in my crawl-space or something...
