    I don't think we want to make video fones cheap and plentiful in the world.

    The U.S. bombed Al-Jazeera in Kabul so the uninformed masses wouldn't get upset when the Northern Alliance, which is nasty but doesn't harbor terrorists at least, sacked Kabul, murdered, raped and pillaged.

    Al-Jazeera used mobile videophones to broadcast anyway, removing the utility of our $2 million bomb.

    At least their phones cost thousands of dollars.

    Cheap, easily obtained, anonymous videophones by Nokia would remove any governmental ability to block out journalistic broadcast from an area for national security purposes.

    We should regulate, register or restrict video telephony to address the government's need to do this.

    If you've got old milk goin' bad, you sure as hell don't need more milk -- you're clearly not drinking it.

    There are definately some nice things about that kind of automation, I agree. But my needs are pretty different than what some damn marketers think they are. My need for an advertising-free life, for example, seems to escape them time and again. (i.e. no ads, for anything, ever, for any reason, no exceptions. It just doesn't sink in with so many people, can't imagine why.)
