I at least have a contractual relationship with both of them that provides
me at least some promise of fair arbitration. Something I don't have with
Joe Average implicitly.

The Machine takes the rights we give up willingly for a long-term loan on a
40" television and another $10k a year.

Not just religious views, but skin color, sex, etc. This is a function of
all social animals (in fact the society wouldn't work if it wasn't) and in

contractual agreements based on impatience and greed is illogical.
