The problems are in the underlying system, and no amount of voting will fix that. When it comes down to it, meaningful changes only happen when enough people decide to stop playing by the rules, and decide to force a change by direct action. The voting that does happen serves little purpose other than to pacify people who might otherwise actively pursue a change. -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
