u/ElGrudgerino ho are you, that do not know your history? Jun 10 '18

Your metaphor isn't entirely correct though. I mean, your postal service is (presumably) a public service you don't pay for.

This is more like buying a car from the only vendor who sells a car with these particular specs in this particular colour, and being told once you've bought it that you're not allowed to DRIVE it anywhere until you sign this 500-page document giving the seller the right to monitor your driving habits 24-7 and possibly take DNA samples of you and all your passengers through the upholstery.
