- To suggest that we have a choice and to be discussing a monopoly is
- hypocritical.
-
- Also, just because I say these are the rules doesnt mean they are. You
- do not have the right to take away someones rights that you didnt give
- them in the first place.
-
- Thats like me saying, you cannot have free speech, if you buy telephone
- service. It is wrong and your rights are protected.
