[Trisquel-users] One thing that bothers me about Richard Stallman

[gnuser]

Hello guys.
Ok, look, first, I want to say that I have a great respect for Richard  
Stallman, mainly for his work on free software. I am not attacking him, or  
anything, I am merely raising a question (one I believe is valid).

I have been reading his website and something caught my attention. He says  
that he does not use a cellphone, he does not use a shopping card, he is  
carefull when he uses the internet... All to protect his privacy. BUT he goes  
on to say that:

" However, I don't mind using someone else's card or number once in a while,  
to avoid the extra charge for not using a card. That doesn't track me. "

"When I need to call someone, I ask someone nearby to let me make a call. If  
I use someone else's cell phone, that doesn't give Big Brother any  
information about me."

And other such statements. Well, what bothers me is that he says "you should  
not use a cellphone" but he has no problem using a cellphone of someone near  
him! It's almost like "Hey, I live in this great superior way, but only can  
do so because you guys let me borrow your evil gadgets when I need! You  
should be like me, and only use someone else's phone, at least until you  
convince the person not to use a phone."

I don't know, I think it shouldn't be this way, I have the feeling that if I  
say "I live this way because it's the better way" I should encourage others  
to do the same and not use their stuff to gain an advantage for myself in my  
way of living.

I just wanted to share it with you guys, and again I say that everyone should  
take some time to listen to his speeches, even if you disagree with him (I  
sometimes do) it's still good to hear his opinion at least it makes you think  
about things. But I feel that the way he presents his life is almost like...  
well, what I wrote above "I live in a superior way thanks to the fact that  
everyone else does not".

Any thoughts?
