The Real Class Divide

It lies between the political class and the rest of us. Today's case in point is the injunction against Research in Motion, the company that makes the BlackBerry. Many BlackBerry users are worried that they will soon lose service due to a court order shutdown in a copyright dispute. The kicker? An injunction would not affect BlackBerry products used by U.S. federal, state, or local governments. Because they're so damn important, while the rest of the world can languish in a state of disconnect.
