SHHHH! Don't bring it up or government will tell corporations to stop putting cameras in cell phones!

Seriously, it is very cool. Capitalism has resulted in companies that want to sell products that will make money, and what is in demand that consumers will trade for money? Cell phones with cameras. Capitalism has led to transparency, which has in turn led to checks and balances in favor of liberty.
