CellPHONES will never make a good computer; they were not meant to be one and only became one when there was a need to maintain market share. They can check email and do fairly well at audio and sometimes video, but they will never do justice to the full capabilities of the internet. For that you should at least have an Ipad or tablet computer.

At home, I have a wonderful computer on my desktop, built by the same guy who has built my home computers since 1981, ME. It does great with anything the WWW can do, video, audio, research, email. I can even make phone calls with it, but it makes a terible phone. Should I expect phone companies to degrade their service to others because I use something that was not originally designed for phone service?

It has become politically popular to include EVERYONE. I have a very nice IQ and can understand every facet of that, but I think it is the wrong path for mankind. Life is not a given; it is a struggle. I did not make it that way; A fellow named Adam did according to a GOOD BOOK. He ignored the owner's manual. So today we take nicely designed applications and dumb them down because a group of the populace wants to use something for a purpose it was not designed for. Everyone else can just accept the dumbing down and the race to the bottom or "lowest common denominator" can continue.

If we're going to talk about the 2nd amendment here, I am going to utilize the 1st. And I won't always be "PC."

I'll give you one real world example of how I feel.

The Grand Designer who wrote the GOOD BOOK has allowed me to create a new agricultural product which makes bigger, stronger plants. Crop plants resist insects and disease without drugs or toxins. They also produce 50 to 200% more crops. Citrus leaf miners cease to be a problem. Citrus greening, a so far incurable disease, may well also be alleviated. I have produced this, tested it with neighbors, farmers, and labs. It works so much better than anything else that it is effectively in a market by itself. The value of this is almost priceless in today's world. Yet I hesitate to bring it to the market of "PC" consumerism. People have approached me to mix my product with their inferior ones so that they can survive and make more money. I have refused. I will take it to the grave before I subvert what my BOSS has given to me. That is my ability to affect things based on tossing out "best" for lesser. Oh, I almost forgot! My product hardens plants against hotter, colder, dryer, and wetter climate changes. I think that will have some importance soon.
