Just Say No to Big Brother’s Smart Meters by Orlean Koehle
Transcript: [IBMer 1] Well right now what I am working on is finding ways to deal with all of the trillions of things that are going to be connected to the internet. [IBMer 2] We are looking to change the way information is processed, stored, delivered, and transmitted. [IBMer 3] You could use this virtual environment to save more energy and manage large systems. [IBMer 4] By making this smarter, we are allowing the electric grid to work with your home to better manage your electricity. [IBMer 5] This RFID chip can track shipments in real time, and to retailers that is everything. [IBMer 6] Heres an equation that can help prevent traffic jams.

These are just more reasons why you - the property owner - should file your own law suit in a small claims court. It only costs $75 to file. The forms are in Chapter VI.
What is Happening In Other Countries?
As has already been mentioned, the SmartMeter Program is not just going on in the USA. It is global. The following are e-mails or articles telling of what is going on in London, Holland, Switzerland, and Canada.
London, England – from The Times (London, 2010-04-19) “It [the Smart Meter] will be able to turn on your washing machine remotely, to switch off your tumble dryer and to manage how and when you use your energy supply - and National Grid believes that ultimately it will change the way in which Britain uses its electricity and gas.
