I see the consistency in your thoughts. I disagree as to the root cause, and thus the course of action required to correct the situation. You can take $5 out of a wallet, and buy something, and not risk the rest of your cash, or your other assets. You can't do that with a computer. You can't tell a program to only run a program for X purpose, or X seconds, etc... because the Operating System has a gaping hole in its design. All of them share that hole. Thus we can't just run our own web sites, nobody wants to risk their unsafe computers going to them. Thus we're forced into walled gardens. Thus we lose the war for general purpose computing, and democracy. We need to take back control of our computers.
