The interesting thing is that he says (frequently) that he only endorses
those things that he believes in.  I find it interesting that, this
being the case, that he pushes shackles over freedom.

I suppose I could.  I’m not entirely sure I’d actually make it past
Belinda, though, because (or at least so it seems, anyway) he tends to
only take callers that wish to speak on whatever topic he is speaking on
at the time, and I’ve never actually hard the topic of computer software
arise on the show itself.

Perhaps I could, however, send an email or a (gasp!) written letter.
