SPEAK YOUR MIND
"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free
to move?"
"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as
metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course,
the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom,
as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning.
Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

That is precisely my attitude toward Flash as well. If a web site requires Flash then they are precluding me ever visiting that site. I refuse to install a utility that is primarily used to display annoying, attention-grabbing banners. If I am looking for details on a game or other product I am interested in buying and the entire extent of the information I can find is a grey box with a missing-plugin icon I will not purchase said game or other product.
