And the new "broadcast flag" technology enables all manner of other restrictions. In the future, the Motion Picture Association of America will control your television set."

    How the Hell did the parent get modded as a Troll? If anything the grandparent is the troll.

    For example, what about people who like Italian food but don't have any friends who like it. Are we just supposed to never eat it again? Pressure our freinds, wives and loved ones into eating foods that they don't like? It makes no sense.
