I know you are 14 (ever since you put your site up for review, remember?), so, FINE... call me a liar for being 46... LOL

I really don't think you get the real point I am stumping.....
The fact that an influence can be made upon an unregulated technology (which has become critical to today's way of life) for profit unjustifiably and without regard for the overall abridgement of personal Freedoms is beyond comprehension.....there has been nothing like it in our history to compare to, as the "rules" are not only still being written, but change almost daily in an effort to defy any sense of regulation or compliance to a "standardization".....

Unlike your intersection example, it is as if the road itself is being re-paved with exposed razors, forcing all who desire to drive through this town (living there or not) to buy a certain tire at whatever cost is demanded by the guy who parks his trailer at the entrance to town (who is respnsible for paving the road late at night before anyone could stop him)....and this is being done before any law can be written to protect the interests of the townspeople, transient visitors, those just "passing through" and even governmental interests like the Power company coming to repair the downed lines in front of your house....FORCED to buy these tires (at whatever cost) and powerless to find alternative means, and without recourse even from the government (the Law): the precedence is extremely dangerous let alone nearly impossible to correct or retract...

The comprehensive weaving of "programs" and "constructive dependence" is not a new tactic, but the manner of this implementation IS...the scope, and the effects.

Understand a little more now?
