Thought of the week from ODELL:
You will never be free without privacy. Privacy is not secrecy, it is the ability to selectively reveal yourself to the world. It is a prerequisite for freedom because private information may be used to control you.

You will never be wealthy without freedom. It is a prerequisite for wealth because otherwise it is not your wealth.
