Well her joy was short lived as my Grandfather asked were she had come by the pail of fresh milk. Mom not being one to lie to Grandpa told him of the neigbors cow she had tied up outside and that she was going to return the cow after breakfast. Grandfather then asked if the neigbor had givin her permission to milk the cow of course Mom told hin no. Grandpa then told Mom to return the neigbors cow along with the pail of milk because they did not belong to them. So before breakfast Mom carried a pail of milk while leading a cow the almost two miles to the neigbors farm.

i think your a pretty good addition to our little group here - but a milk cow and a cable company ?
and taking $20 bucks because i have a thousand makes it right?
if i left a $20 bill on your desk and you called me to tell me i left it and i never returned for it or returned you call is one thing.
but a service such as cable that is there and the lazy service man that wont go and unhook it - should i get my ladder and unhook it and send them a bill for the use of my services and then get pissed off that they wont pay me ? all the while i sleep better because i am doing the right thing
misserys telco companies ceo pay packages
AT&T said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that company CEO Randall Stephenson received a compensation package worth about $15 million
charter communications which is in chapter 11 due no doubt to cable theft
Under its Value Creation Plan, Charter pay Chief Executive Neil Smit up to $8.5 million if the company successfully restructures and if he reaches specified targets during each of the three years following the company's emergence from restructuring.

Ralph J. Roberts Chairman SALARY BONUS $1,653,750
Brian L. Roberts President SALARY BONUS $2.787 million
btw milk is 5 dollars a gallon here now and i cant even find a compensation pay pakage for doug smith
. Unfortunately, the story is irrelevant, to try to compare the story to the situation with the cable company is akin to comparing apples to oranges.
is for the good to do nothing 
. Grandpa would answer like this, did you pay for the cable? no. should you pay for the cable? yes why aren't you paying for the cable? at this point the only right answer to Grandpa would be I am going to make it right and pay for the cable. No grey area just right or wrong. No apples no oranges just do the right thing because it is the right thing to do.
