Nice, but so many words... What should I think about my lack of
control of the price of fuel? I guess that makes it a good fertilizer
for conspiracy theories. I also have a lot of theories about Windows,
is that in part due to lacking control, could it be that open source
provides a deeper sense of control and thus reduces my suspicions
about it, I must compute, at least sleep on it.
