LUG Pres Resigns Over Military Linux Use
Joe Barr writes "NewsForge is carrying the news that the founder and president of Linux Users Los Angeles (LULA) has resigned because of his opposition to the war in Iraq and the U.S. Armed Forces' use of Linux."

i don't hear the left complaing when the same court ruled that two dudes butt-fucking was a constitutionally protected right. and you don't hear the left complaing when a court in Mass. overrules the will of the vast majority of the people and says gays have a right to marry.
now, i fear a judiciary that has no check or balance. jefferson warned of this repeatedly. and we have seen it totally change our country. for instance, when the supremes decided to start approving fdr's new deal legislation that it had been rejecting, it set a very bad precedent. so now, even though so much of what the gov't does is unconstitutional, it is ingrained in our societal fabric. sad.
My problem? I was perfectly gruntled, until some numbnuts came by and dissed me.
