Not the first totalitarian government people have felt like that about...
They develop IC on iPhones?!!

This guy plugs holes.
This is how you combat bullshit like a pro- "don't answer the question you get, answer the question you wish you had gotten".
"Look, in a democracy we also have to give a platform to the people who want to abolish it"
Too tasty?
