It's no secret Chris Randall is one of my favorite bloggers and has been ever since there was a concept of blogging.
A comment on the Analog Industries blog posted today was worthy of reposting:
Viz. the terrorists, it's all over the second they get a strip mall in Pakistan with a Borders (with parasitic Starbucks), Bed Bath And Beyond, Chuck-E-Cheese, Old Navy, and TGI-fuckin'-Friday's. Once they have to fight off the extended warranty at Best Buy then get their bag checked on the way out, they'll understand that they can't do anything to us that we're not entirely willing to do to ourselves, and go bother someone else for a while.
The Price Of Freedom Is Omnipresent Bullshit.
(And just as a side note, I haven't set foot in a Best Buy since 1999, when I got in an argument with one of the blueshirts about the motherfucking extended warranty. The price of pushy salesman is me taking my electronic gee-gaw dollar, one of the larger dollars in my wallet, elsewhere.)

True Chris....very true.
