Nice conspiracy
OK, so you're saying that cell phones are just some giant conspiracy to enslave everyone. I can't even begin to assert how foolish that is to believe that. There's no conspiracy here. People like cell phones because they are useful. You must be able to understand that. After all, you're using a computer. You must find that useful. Well, cell phones are like little computers that allow you to speak to friends and loved ones and even call emergency services when you need them.

I feel like you think you're someone better than everyone because you don't use a cell phone. As if you're better because you're "off the grid." That's nonsense. If you have an SSN, a landline and a computer, then you're on the grid, buddy. You're trackable. You're in the database. Your habits are being mined and sold to marketing firms. There's nothing you can do about it. You can swim against the rapids as long as you want, but they'll eventually win.

So, jump on board and stop denying yourself the utility you get by having a cell phone. No one is forcing you to install RFID chips into your brain, and if we have a say about it as voters, no one ever will.
