Speaking of which - here's a great analogy:

You have a beautiful shiny car - the most awesome stereo system with
digital video, all kinds of bright shiny spacey knobs, the best controls
for driver comfort, and you feel like a million bucks when you're
sitting in it - BUT you have

* Tyres 2mm thick that puncture when you're on the road
* An engine that rumbles nicely whilst parked, but dies when you get on
the road
* No seatbelts and no air-bag cushions
* You can only seat one
* You don't choose the colour or style of the car
* You don't really choose the music on the stereo - it's chosen for you
and you decide from what's already chosen what you want to listen to.
* There is no windscreen
* There are no mirrors
* No locks of whatever type or kind
* The steering wheel is not bolted to the column
* You have to purchase petro from only one source, and that source is
1000km away so you have to ship it to the vehicle - your cost.
* The maker flatly denies any responsibility for anything that ever
happens to the vehicle once it's sold to you.
