[volunteers] Oh, grow up

[Rick Moen]

I really don't have time for you two chuckleheads.  Your ability to post
will be restricted for a time, and, if I fail to notice that one of your
postings isn't rubbish and expires out of the Mailman admin queue before
Mark Weisler or I approve it manually, I'm not even going to feel sorry.

	lights, Linux etc ...

The domination and exploitation of the world's people by the 
ultra-wealthy and their corporations, governments, and media 
have a strong negative effect on Linux and other free software.

Linux adoption is only a tiny fraction of what it would have 
been without Microsoft's years of lying propaganda, $100,000,000
fraudulent SCO lawsuit, media censorship by threat of withdrawal 
of advertising, bribed columnists and analysts, secret contracts 
with OEMs forbidding sale of computers with dual-booting, etc, etc.

At the same time, the people of the World Community are gradually 
waking up to the political and economic realities mostly because 
of information transmitted via the Internet, which runs on free 
software.  GNU/Linux and other free software are necessary for 
people around the world to communicate and organize, especially 
in the face of increased government/corporate efforts to censor 
the Net.  We need complete user control over our software, not 
corporate control as with Microsoft products.  

The U.S. and allied governments have been invading and smashing 
other nations and murdering millions of people in the last ten 
years, using the 9/11 false-flag attacks as their false pretext.  
The laws, agencies, and concentration camps are already in place
in the U.S. for its transformation to a total police state, 
with arbitrary arrest, torture, and murder of American citizens.

Linux needs and is needed by the people in the U.S. and around 
the world who are fighting for freedom and survival.

This conflict is by far the most important thing going on in the 
world at this time.  Our species can either go down into an 
eternal night of world fascism and death under control of 
ultra-wealthy psychopaths, with 1% of the population continuing 
to own 99% of the wealth, or by education and action we can 
advance our civilization and technology so that work and its 
products and profits are shared much more equally, and everyone 
lives successfully.

This is the reality in which we live!  Human history is at 
a turning point.  We must become aware of what's going on and 
consider its implications for everything.  It is truly a matter 
of life or death!
