It's possible to use datura as a drug, but nearly nobody does use it. It takes hours to cook up the seeds and it has got a less good effect to side-effect ratio. In some countries it's just important to forbid nature because nature is dangerous and to allow good artificial things like thermonuclear weapons and pump gun or industrial pollution. Degeneration! OTOH something like Linux, open source, is given by nature. Evolution does work like this, we cannot control evolution. The computer ideas of Apple and Microsoft, making money, not sharing knowledge and monopolies are dead births. However, some want to organize Linux communities in the same way our societies are organized, they need to have rules, laws and commandments, they need guilty ones. Freedom seems to be disgusting to them, they want freedom with rules, laws and commandments, but not real freedom. _______________________________________________ D-community-offtopic mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
