I completely and totally agree with you. Freedom is not freedom if you constantly have other people telling you what you should do. Just because something is right for one person doesn't make it right for everyone else.
I won't ever pay to have my car detailed again. Did it once and totalled the vehicle four hours later. Superstitious....
I won't ever buy a computer that runs only Windows, because I far prefer Mac OS.
I refuse to ever take my car back to the local Toyota dealership for service. They charged me a total of 7.5 hours of labor when the car was there for a maximum of 3.5 hours from drop off to pick up. Plus they told me I needed new brakes less than 24 hours after Midas put new ones on. Then didn't do anything to investigate with the mechanic after I questioned it.
I buy generic everything when available (EXCEPT toilet paper and peanut butter) because I don't want to pay extra for advertising if I don't have to.
I patronize local, independent bookstores when available (which they are not in my town). Being in the publishing industry, I've seen what happens when too few people have too much power over what books are made available to the public.
