Car analogy does not work for me. I am in tech support. But I know how my car works. I know how to do my taxes. I know how accounting works (sort of). I know how to do plumbing, electrical, roofing, most house-repair. Even if I can't fix it or do it as well as a "pro" in that field, I understand how things work. I can't understand how anyone doesn't. You don't have to be an expert, or able to do everything, but you should have at least a basic understanding of anything you interact with on a regular basis. Anything else is not ignorance, it's laziness.

Similar to my FoIP plan: Fist over IP. Yours would be F-SoIP: Face-Stab over IP.

Tearing the tag off the mattress is legal for the consumer. It's more like going after Al Capone for spitting on the sidewalk and calling it vandalism and littering.
