Please don't give up. We all have to value freedom more than to abandon it after half an hour apart from a laptop if we want to be free.

I think you are right but I also understand OP - it's way too easy to choose the easier path. The older I get the more I admire people like Vaclav Havel and others who would rather spend years in jail instead of just 'sucking it up'... and the more I doubt I would be able to withstand even much smaller pressure - it must have been much harder than I imagined when I was 16.
