no wedding band??

[Keith Smith]

I understand some do not like bringing politics into this list.  However 
it is all relevant.  I'm a LAMP developer.  I have deep concerns that 
the Federal Government will at some point start to regulate Open Source 
/ Free Software.

I've known Lyle for sometime and his heart is in the right place.

This nation was birthed on freedom... And today a baby can be caused to 
be delivered prematurely and cut to pieces while it's heart is still 
beating. This is called abortion.

I think these are discussions we need to have because it will soon be 
Linux they come after.  Then what?

All it will take is for the likes of Bill Gates to grease the palms of a 
handful of politicians and the next thing you know you will only be able 
to boot M$.

Didn't we see that with the law that says you cannot root your phone?  
These types of things are the opposite of freedom.  We should have the 
freedom to buy whatever phone we want and buy minutes from any carrier.  
Instead the Cellular providers influence politicians to pass laws that 
take away our freedom.  This is called crony capitalism.

Crony capitalism may effect Open Source / Free Software at some point. A 
free and open market allows us to vote with our dollars.  That is not 
the system we have today.  We have a system where the wealthy and big 
business buy politicians and they pass laws that aid the wealthy and big 
business.  AND this is at our expense.

I'm for freedom.  I do not care if you worship a pole or a cow, or 
nothing at all.  I do not care if you run M$, Apple, or Linux.  I do not 
care if you want to eat meat or abstain from meat. AND I hope you will 
allow me the same latitude.

I personally support the least amount of law - just the minimum to 
protect the masses.

Lyle is right here is a sleight of hand taking place.
