monolithic "government" there is some disagreement on how best to do
that, and which ones to support, or support the most, but the fact still

more often then Droid users, per a recent survey. We need "more Cow
Bell" so to speak. You would need more of the public behind you. I'm
waiting for the open source social networking site Diaspora to gage
the public interest in open source.
