Not only is that addage showing its age, even though it's as applicable now as it was from its point of first usage, but I would suggest it's a disgrace that humans both think and act in such a manner. In other words, just because it's free shouldn't mean the user should be the product.

I realize a lot of people will not agree with me, however I tend to think way beyond the general human conception and as a consequence hold to a very different perspective.

I agree with you that that should not be the case. When I look at all the good things human beings have accomplished over the millennia, I cannot help but think that we can do better than this if we set our mind to it.

But life is not the way it should be (IMHO) in so many different levels in so many different ways I would not even know where to begin counting.
