    What you mean to say is that YOU don't have the skill to open and mod a cell phone.

    Most, is the answer there, not 'Not Many'

    "they get bored and go off and do something else"
    true. It's why it's important to get the involved in regular drills. Even if it's only once a year that ends in a giant picnic.

    "but it is not action-and-adventure where the hero ham parachutes in for the rescue."

    Or to get the public to not immediately call to tell everyone you are fine. IN cases like Boston, waiting an hour would have helped a great deal.

    Yes, people will be worried, but be a little selfless and give way to people who need help.

    becasue when you say it happened at X time, you need to show evidence, and all the evidence show, very clearly, that it is older then 6000 years. So going the Catholic route, God help evolution in ways we can't see' make no prediction, so there is no argument.

    " I'm not paranoid"
    yes you are, what you mean to say is that you are not delusional paranoid. Which, based on your post, is also false.

    " I don't want anyone profiting from me without me getting at least half the money"
    To damn bad. SO tell me, who much to all the advertiser that influence you're shopping send you? hmm? NO wait, let me guess, not only are people out to get you you information, you are also immune to all the science behind getting you to buy something?

    I think it's important for you to remember you're not interesting enough for anyone to give a crap about you.

    " Hence I block ALL ads"
    How do you block billboard? ads on the bus? The ads that are the actual [product? Why do you think they have fancy labels?

    "even if this means no one gets paid for click throughs"
    ah,you are a leech on society and the web. Good to know.

    When you children get into the real world, they won't know how to deal with the normal ads. You are harming them by not preparing them.

    ". I have RIGHT not to be tracked by companies."
    says...who? right, no one.

    "but I don't want companies profiting from me being the "product"."
    Clearly that's not true, you have an internet connection, you buy things.

    does that matter? And why?
    And why do you relate you diminished ability to remember numbers on cell phones and not say, age?

    I would rather have my own little adventures, then one dictated by others. Do you think you are making your own choices when you go shopping?

    Great, you like to look at a window and stare at the something for hours on end.. Fine. But once you've seen it, that's about it.
    "society dropping out of real life, "
    well. gee whiz mister, thanks for being the dictator of what 'real life' is! without you we wouldn't know what to do. well, maybe star at the same countryside for hours on end. What fun!
