Well, except for people who were slaves. Or a woman who wanted to vote before 1920. Or a minority before the Civil Rights movement. How exactly are we defining "Freedom"? We can't measure it without quantifying it. In what way have you been directly restricted by the government?

All things change though and I'm sure I could live without Slashdot and find other competitors that deliver tech news I want to hear.

Yeah, that's the real issue. We won't suffer through a new, crappy UI. This isn't Facebook. You're not the only game in town.

We will leave. And that'll be the end of it.

One of the first things I did when I jailbroke my iPhone was download a Gameboy emulator so I could play old Pokemon games. Why the fuck isn't this available on the app store?

Brings to mind the apocryphal quote from Milton Friedman:

At one of our dinners, Milton recalled traveling to an Asian country in the 1960s and visiting a worksite where a new canal was being built. He was shocked to see that, instead of modern tractors and earth movers, the workers had shovels. He asked why there were so few machines. The government bureaucrat explained: “You don’t understand. This is a jobs program.” To which Milton replied: “Oh, I thought you were trying to build a canal. If it’s jobs you want, then you should give these workers spoons, not shovels.”
