GNU-Darwin: Three Years of Free Software Activism
JigSaw writes "The GNU-Darwin Distribution is a free BSD operating system and a popular source of free software for Mac OS X and Darwin-x86 users, but it is also a platform for digital activism. Founder Michael L. Love wrote an editorial speaking about the roots, goals, problems and just about everything about GNU-Darwin. Free Software is at the core of GNU-Darwin and also anything political that has an impact on digital and even rights. Is this the first truly politically oriented BSD OS?" Nope.
Although my precious and limited time (I am an IT-outsourcing consultant) did not allow me to read the interview, I am sure it involves something that

Is it just me or are the slashdot images all screwed up?
We have all been lied to. We impeach an adulterer, but we don't impeach someone who sends our brothers and sons into the battlefield for corporate reasons?

No, the problem is that of voting for people who can win because all the other schmoes think the same way instead of risking an opinion.
,in the immortal words of Ice-T, "SHIT AIN'T LIKE THAT!"
So what you're saying is that the problem is with practical reality. As much as I would have liked to see Alan Keyes become president, I knew that there was no chance.
What that leaves is "Who would you least like to win?"
Once Keyes was out, who would I least like to win? In order that would be...
1. Al Gore
2. Ralph Nader
3. GW Bush
4. Pat Buchanan
While Bush wasn't my first choice, I had to vote against Gore and Nader. Any other vote would have been no different than a vote for them.
If everybody who didn't vote at all in the last elections had voted for one candidate, that person would have won.
And if I had a million dollars, I'd be rich. But
You have to deal with reality the way it is. It's the only way to make things the way you want them to be.

Wow, I feel very sorry for your students. Stick the the curriculum, buddy! There were many mass graves found in Serbia and Bosnia, and the "presumed war criminal" was the object of massive evidence displaying his guilt beyond a doubt of terrific attrocities. Maybe if you would leave the partisan BS behind, and achnowledge the character and intentions of our leaders, you could convey a more realistic World view to your students. The war in Iraq was started based on trumped up charges of WMD posession and acquisition, which have turned out to be based on shaky intelligence at best, and an outright lie at worst. We aren't in Iraq to liberate the subjects of a brutal dictator, but to secure access to their resources (hint: powers your car) with a friendly regime. In Bosnia/Serbia, there was no oil to fight over, and with the mix of cultures with ties to different major World powers (and was the site of events that triggered both World Wars), was a messy place to be involved in. In hindsite, there was no greedy goal for that war, besides possibly to allocate funds to the defense department and its contractors (though that is the extremely cynical view). In Iraq, however, with the dubious charges made to start the war, the timing of the war (in a recession, with oil prices on the rise, with Saddam was doing his thing as usual, as he has been for the last decade since the first Gulf War), and the way the country (Iraq, not the US) has been managed since the end of the war (all contracts going to a select group of powerful American companies who just happen to have contributed massive amounts of money to Bush's election fund, no real care given to the well-being of Iraqi citizens, money from Oil sales to ourselves going to pay for our expenditures there), it is easy to say that the motivation was not very honorable. Have you considered teaching history in North Korea, where all history is fabricated on a (politically motivated) whim, like yours?

Yes, for one thing, removal of Saddam Hussein meant the removal of trade embargoes against Iraq, thus reenabling international trade for the Iraquis, which will bring Western medicine to the people.
It also removed the United States military from Saudi Arabia, which had been stationed there to keep an eye on the Hussein regime. Wasn't that one of Osama bin Laden's excuses for attacking the U.S.? Now that the United States has been removed from the Sacred Islamic Land (TM), Osama and his goons should shut the hell up. Of course, Al Qaeda won't, because religion is their excuse, not their objective. (Actually, I suspect that bin Laden is actually dead by now, especially since only audio tapes -- and no videotapes -- have surfaced.)
People forget that the Weapons of Mass Destruction, in the form of tons of anthrax toxins, can be packed into the size of a two-car garage.
