Nothing like something to insult your intelligence to make your stomach 
churn . . .  :(

I don't know whether you have noticed an odd tendency that has developed 
over the last 200
years or so . . .

. . . the tendency for people to sell you something, but at the same 
time try to limit what you
can do with that something once you have bought it.

If I want to keep chickens in my new Toyota Auris nobody is going to 
tell me I cannot; and,
similarly, I believe that when you BUY something, IT is YOURS, not 
something that really
still belongs to the person who sold it to you and then continues to 
control your actions
from a distance.

THIS is what turned Richard Stallman into a raving fanatic.

One of the reasons I really don't want to live in Great Britain any more 
is that the lists of
DON'TS gets bigger and bigger. I had a friend who always wore a seatbelt 
in his car, until the day the
government made them compulsory, at which point he removed all his 
seatbelts with a knife;
as he said at the time "Ah'll no jump in an outa ma skin fae you Sudron 
parliament".
