Unfortunately what I see here in America is - people demand liberty in their own public sphere, but authoritarian control over that of others. At least for those who gravitate towards either end of the political spectrum.

Yeah, that would seem obvious.

I'm not worried about what the cops could find on my phone - for me, it's just the principle of the thing.

Oh, those gosh-awful books by the "Killer B's". Actually the Greg Bear book was decent, in large part because he actually made the effort to honor and conform to Asimov's existing universe and style - unlike Brin and Benford, who were seemingly unable to get out of the way of their own inflated egos.

Yeah I'd thought about making my post something like

"performed by a bunch of Hall of Fame rockers in their own right. ... oh, and also Prince"

But I couldn't quite figure out how to really pull that off quite the way I wanted.

Oh yeah I totally get that. If I had to file a state return, I'd feel the same way.
