You may remember the story of how the devil and a friend of his were walking down the street, when they saw ahead of them a man stoop down and pick up something from the ground, look at it, and put it away in his pocket. the friend said to the devil, "what did that man pick up?" "he picked up a piece of the truth," said the devil. "that is a very bad business for you, then," said his friend. "oh, not at all," the devil replied, "i am going to help him organize it."

In the large sense the primary cause of the great depression was the war of 1914-1918. without the war there would have been no depression of such dimensions. there might have been a normal cyclical recession; but, with the usual timing, even that readjustment probably would not have taken place at that particular period, nor would it have been a "great depression.
War Taken Usual
I should be able to pick which applications i use for managing my life, i should be able to pick which content i look at, and i should be able to pick which device i use, which company i use for supplying my internet, and i'd like those to be independent choices.
Independent Choices Looks
I always keep moments that were defining for me in my past and challenged me in my past - from getting evicted out of my apartment when i was 14 years old, to being cut from the cfl [canadian football league] and only having 7 bucks in my pocket, to bouts with depression - i keep moments like that very close to me because it continues to be great motivators for me. it helps keep me grounded, and it's a good reminder of how things work, and i never want to go back to that.
