yeah well, realized that. i still stand by what i said. may we all
remain civilized enough to not let this turn into a battle.

i did. i commented on it. i wanted microsoft to appear on the
declaration of independence, remember.

what i really meant to say then is what politics has to do with
open-source because (a) ideal communism/socialism cannot exist, and
(b) america - and the declaration of independence - don't really
follow open source in a political ideology sort of way. independence
isn't only political, is it?
