I'd take prosperity and safety over "freedom" anytime.

Ronald Reagan: we believe that freedom and security go together. Or to paraphrase him:

We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace. There is one sign the United Kingdom can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. Prime Minster Cameron, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the United Kingdom and Europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this portal. Mr. Cameron, open this portal. Mr. Cameron, tear down this firewall of censorship!

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. Thomas Jefferson

Comment Banking Revolution? I think not! (Score 1) 72

This is just a superficial technology implementation that will make the BIG banks richer, more powerful, and better organized, financially and politically. Not a revolution at all. It's a step backwards for humanity. A REVOLUTION would to be breaking up the BIG banks into much smaller and better regulated entities that cannot use depositors money for risk-implied investments, i.e. Wall $treet.

Comment LG L41C = Immaculate Functioning (Score 1) 484

I got this Android from an online catalog store for $167 about seven months ago. It came with a plan from Tracfone. As I mostly use Wifi, my plan usually runs $12/month, but it's easy to add minutes/data for the same price if needed(rarely). Actually, I bought two of them, the other for my soulmate. We've both been very please with this model. The only issue I've had was the wifi dropping and having to reboot to get it back. Found out it was a buggy app that did not play well with 4.4. Other than that, not a single fault. Tracfone never issues new Android OS updates, however. It's their scheme to get you to upgrade hardware. Fail.
