> As citizens of an open society, government exists to serve us, not the other way around.

I really wish this was true. It should be true. It used to be true. But I don't think it is now.

> With enough users, they will have to respond.

Well, yeah. But even if we had millions of people lined up (which we don't) it still wouldn't be enough to force a positive response.

Frankly there's too much money wrapped up in this now. Because of that, open computing will always be under attack. I hate coming off as so defeatist, but what we need is a culture change, and a new device which is (from the perspective of the 99%) worse and more expensive than Android isn't going to get us that.
