I invested in rhyming of words for fun and profit. Also, rhyme zone is cool:

Love is actually a very hard word to rhyme. In descending order of usefulness, I can think of:

• love
• above
• dove
• glove
• shove
• and er... of ... sort of

That's about it, at least according to this Online rhyming dictionary.

It doesn't even rhyme.

Seriously though, what's stopping anyone from making free rootserver clones?

Well, regardless of the story, Baboochi rhymes with a ton of words, wheter you pronounce is i or e

Acts 13:10. "You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord?"

Matthew 19:19. "Jesus replied, 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother,' and 'love your neighbor as yourself.'"

John 10:1. "[T]he man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber." (It's a slight stretch, but it's a little applicable.)

Mark 4:18-19. "Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful."

Matthew 19:23-24. "I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

Revelations 3:16-17. "So, because you are lukewarm -- neither hot nor cold--I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked."

1 Timothy 6:17. "Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment."

Might want to tell her to read her Bible a little more carefully.

If she tells you, "The Devil can quote Scripture to his purpose," then point out that that's Shakespeare (Merchant of Venice, Act I, Scene iii), not Holy Writ.

(However, if Satan's on the Internet, Bible.Gospelcom.Net would sure let him do it.)

Lindow is a surname. Rare, and ranked #25385 in the United States. Over here.

Hire a Lindow, make her the Primary Marketing Consultant, and rebrand as Lindow's Operating System.

1. 1 To get into one's possession by force, skill, or artifice, especially:
2. 
   a. To capture physically; seize: take an enemy fortress.
   b. To seize with authority; confiscate.

If I capture, seize, or confiscate your property, I have control and possession of your property while you lose it. That is the point you cannot see. If I don't take, or remove your property there is no theft. There might be copyright infringment, forgery or plagerism, but there is no theft without a transfer of possession.

But if that's not good enough for you, perhapse you'd like a few more. While you're noting the complete absence of any copying of so called "intellectual property" from any of those, check out how many specifically say "taking and removing". Thats because theft is concrete. I've either stolen your car from your garage or I haven't. I've either removed some stereos after breaking into Radio Shack or I haven't. That doesn't apply to downloading a copy of Office XP without paying for it, because there is no guarantee that I would have bought it in the first place. And even if it was guaranteed, MS has only "lo

Hey not a problem... I enjoy a friendly discussion where cool rational arguments are made.

I do see the very real possibility that the government might use force to suppress dissension among voters. However, where both you and Oobleck seem to see this as an immediate and obvious result of the Free State Project, I see it as being a very remote possibility.

The possibility is remote because in general the populous will not stand for it. But I would like to point out that the ideals that the FSP are pushing for are the exactly same as those of the Confederates. And the federal government sent the Union army after them. So the idea is not with out precedent.

Are you aware that the real socialists would laugh at your depiction of any U.S. administration as a "far left socialist elite"?

Why exactly? Because they do not use their power to effect socialist change everywhere they can? The reason for that is there would be a revolt ( once again were back to the civil war...) from the populous. Instead they use Fabian tactics to slowly effect change with in the government.

"Every country that has attempted socialism, or a close variant of it, has undergone a massive upsurge in literacy and the involvement of the populace in education programs, only to be ended by internal corruption of the structure (the USSR being a prime example) or outside military and economic warfare (Nicaragua)"

You make my argument for me. Socialism is inherently flawed. It in and of it self leads to the corruption and perversion of its intended goal. True capitalism keeps this from happening by use of the simple facts of human nature. A person naturally wants to make his life better and so strives to do so in the best way he can. Others doing the same and competing with and against him or her lead to the balance and furthering of the society at large.

"There is nothing in true socialism that prevents you doing what you want, or owning whatever you want. The "in socialist states, everything is owned by the state" is another lie people swallow without thinking."

Socialism:

noun: a political theory advocating state ownership of industry

noun: an economic system based on state ownership of capital

I guess the dictionary fell into the same lie!?!

"You get your terms mixed up,..."

Check above seems my terms are correct.

"...your priorities all wrong..."

I'm sorry??? My priorities are wrong? How so? I get up in the morning and go to work and do my job to get paid so that I can enjoy the fruits of my labor as I see fit. Not as everyone else feels I should! My priorities have gotten me to the point in my life where I own my own house, car, motorcycle, entertainment system, and (I'm sure this one will send you though the roof...) enough guns to defend the liberties and freedoms that I enjoy.

"...and trot out the same misconceptions and lies that the media has been drumming into the population for decades."

I'm sorry again...as I once again missed how you feel your jab is pointed at me. Maybe you missed the fact that the media in this country has been spewing out the so-called lies you say aren't true of socialism. (i.e. government healthcare, welfare, Social Security...) and yet the openly claim they are the true followers of Marxism! You seem to be well versed in Marx's words but you are not as well up on why the founding fathers of this country rejected the ideas and doctrines that lead Marx to his conclusions. I suggest you pick up a copy of The Federalist Papers and The Constitution and read why the bill of rights was written and how it becomes the founding principle of Capitalism.

"Congratulations on being a paid-up member of the sheep, now go back to your pointless job peon."

Maybe my job is pointless. I work for a cable internet access provider as a network engineer. But the fact of the matter is that I enjoy my job. I like what I do and feel that I am building something that people want. And as such I work hard to make it the best system that it can be. Not only because I want to get paid but also because it gives me a feeling of accomplishment. Also the company that I now work for happens to be the same company that drove me to sell my dialup internet access provider that I started at the age of 21. Of course since I owned it I sold it for a profit and then went straight to work for the people who drove me to sell my business. But then I didn't have to listen to "The State" or as you call it "The Body of Workers"(Side Question: What do you think Marx Body of Workers is?) tell me that I couldn't act in my best interest and that I had to keep my business so that there was competition. Or worse that my current employer had to open up the system that they built with their money to me because "Its only fair because to compete I need access to their network."

What I'm getting at is that your idea of true socialism has never and will never exist because the ideas and structures for it lead in and of themselves to corruption and the feedback loop of laziness. You can rant all you want about how it's the right thing to do but the simple fact is History proves you wrong. In two ways as a matter of fact, one in that no socialist government has survived the test of time, always leading to the corruption and implosion that you yourself spoke of. And two that The US is the most powerful and stable government ever to have existed since Rome.

So I'm going back to being a self accomplished and empowered peon that I am. You go back to working for your comrades so they can sit and watch soaps all day and make babies so they can get more state welfare.
