When you think about socio-economic models, don't just think about
socialism, capitalism, libertarianism, ... please also consider
capitalism with a cap.  Such a system would bring volunteer socialism
as well as maximum personal freedom, fair distribution of resources,
and less bitterness all around.

Rich Kulawiec's excellent analysis started out:

Games.  Microsoft has the corner and the whole block on being the os
for the very lucrative game industry.  And that's where the kids are,
and the future.

It would help us win if there were a few graphical game engines on
unix, or Java.  Multi-user over the internet are most important
because that's where kids form relationships and group into clans, a
potentially powerful political force.

Go Linux, go kids.
