They have something more powerful, which will make changing the laws in place that much harder...retired four star generals and admirals, as well as high corporate members of the MIC, as well as INVESTORS in good places.

By the way you want to see bad blood with hipsters? Go waddle into the ps3 Xbox war. It makes this one look mild.

But if you are serious about dealing with the system, go ahead, DO NOT buy any apple products, that will bring the change you want. We both know their whole business plan hinges on a few hundred people complaining about Apple, and missing the full picture, on Democratic Underground.

I'd rather look at the full picture and realize that the difference will come in the form of legislation.

But if it makes you feel better, by all means, carry on. You and a few others not buying their products will be replaced by hundreds of thousands world wide.
