Personal liberty is a laudable goal, but it sometimes conflicts with other values, such as the good of the community.
Unwilling to balance those dilemnas, you aren't credible.
But according to Bezos, you wouldn't be allowed to say that.
That's my point.
This isn't a difficult point to make, the debate has been ongoing since at least Plato.
Bezos wants to declare victory and go home.
No you didn't - you simply weren't paying enough attention...
Boycott them all.
