the subscription, and I'm saying, why can't he subscribe when he calls, and still receive service, and owe all sorts of money, or even have to pay the full cost of the fire. I'm blaming everybody involved, not one entity vs. another--and I know that if they let him get away with not paying then no one will pay, slippery slope, this is what they voted for, blah blah...but in the end, public safety must come first, and failure to respond to a fire when the means and manpower are available and nearby is not putting public safety first. I think your need to work this into a larger point or parable about the system, or the background politics, or the type of people involved in this situation is blinding you to common sense, and that's a shame. So we'll have to agree to disagree, and leave it at that.
