That's a good question. My tinfoil hat says the government is involved with CarrierIQ and all this hoopla is simply a diversion.

After 40+ years that software has been around you should know by now one side does not fit all; it does not matter if your talking web, kernel or whatever.

I do not want the "state" caring about me because when they do its not Dos Equis they drink.. but rather the slurping taxes from my wallet.

I think you are the bigger idiot to think > 2% some how materializes out of thin air to make up of the difference is well, your using the wrong tea bag. Some one is paying for that difference.

The last thing needed is more taxes. This is a pipe dream but governments should stay within their budgets.

I prefer to breath dihydrogen monoxide in vapor form but others don't. But to assume mercury becomes non-toxic just because you put in a vaccine is a little more than a stretch. If such a thing were that easy then vaccines would be a cheap and easy way to detoxify a whole lot of things.

No its not like that at all. You cannot have salt without chlorine but you CAN have a vaccine without mercury.
