There is no freedom without rules. Without rules there is anarchy, chaos, nonexistence. Our visible universe is built around strict physical laws, such as gravity. Only due to those laws we could enjoy freedom: to walk, to run, to speak, to drink, to kiss (and not only to kiss!), to eat, to read, etc. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
