But these are false alternatives! "I'll give you a choice, I remove
either your right foot or your left arm. Your choice." The choice
of "neither" is not given. All I want is true alternatives. I
hope that one of those alternatives will be to opt out of the
coercive, advertising rich, commercial environment that is in
our future.
