And since it's about democracy, shouldn't we let the people involved with choosing the software be able to choose in a democratic way without having to legislate "one choice in the darkness bind us all" ?
I disagree. This is about us and them. us and government. I don't trust them. they need to be watched because when you are not looking those thieving lot is going to run away with your money or stab you in the back. Its a balancing act. We are the constituents. We control the government therefore we need to see the code. The people choosing the software are working for us. I think the American style republican democracy, like the Philippines, was supposed to work that way. -- the thing i like with my linux pc is that i can sum up my complaints in 5 items _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
