To suggest that we have a choice and to be discussing a monopoly is
hypocritical. 

Also, just because I say these are the rules doesnt mean they are. You
do not have the right to take away someones rights that you didnt give
them in the first place.

Thats like me saying, you cannot have free speech, if you buy telephone
service. It is wrong and your rights are protected.
