Bye Bye Ma Bell

I hadn't used my AT&T Universal Card since news broke in 2006 that they provided customer data to the NSA. But they kept sending me the usual credit card junk mail (cash advance checks, etc.) and today I finally got around to calling them and cancelling my account. When asked why I was cancelling, I said: "The United States government spied on its own citizens and AT&T aided them in this. I don't want to do business with such a company."

And the customer service rep in India probably marked "other" on the form he filled out.
