    It’s like this. Your front door is left open and while, magically, no one can touch or take anything in your house, strangers are allowed to enter at will and eyeball everything, see all your bills, your kids stuff, your laundry, dirty and clean, etc. How would that ever be ok? And yet we say this is ok electronically every day.

          Reminds me of a French king who wanted to be equal: I forbid rich and poor to sleep under the bridges.

          It sounds fair but strangely it isn’t. Nowadays, you can’t avoid the Street. Nowadays in westen, the first thing an beggar needs to have a hope to have a house is a phone to access some free hot spots.
