Maybe I shall point out the resemblance to the philosophical argument on whether one has the freedom to enslave oneself. But it suffices for me to say that I did not choose to use those tools. If we're going to decide collectively what tools we're going to use as a group, then we presumably won't choose tools that are not usable by some of us. Now, if some are going to impose their choices on others, that's definitely not what my understanding of what freedom is about. -- Alexandre Oliva, freedom fighter https://FSFLA.org/blogs/lxo Be the change, be Free!
