To add to all the other reasons I love AVRs (cheap, featureful, good development tools, beautiful assembly language), they are now also to be considered almost impossibly resilient: I just made a mistake and reverse biased an ATTiny13 micro (swapped Power and Ground wires), causing it to heat up until it was too hot to touch… I just popped it back in the programmer after it cooled down, and it is completely fine. Win, atmel, win.

Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.
