Lyvim was merely answering a naive question concerning the fact that I'm now a criminal, because I eradicated windows from my laptop. Furthermore, it seems that I'm a communist, because I use free software. I wonder if that holds for my children as well ?
If THAT isn't crap, I don't know what crap is. Lyvim was kind enough to inform me that not all americans cave in to the "evil empire".

But I know that at least some americans stand up : judge Pennfield Jackson is still in office (as far as I know). Nader is still at large and Linus Skywalker, eh.... Thorvalds isn't knighted by emperor Bill yet. Lyvim can criticize his country's legislative system and Todd can even criticize its founding fathers. You can like their opinions or dislike them. But they have freedom of speech - and use it. Without risking incarceration. That's why I envy americans. And linux is about freedom. I don't think that's irrelevant here on this list.
