    I think that progressives are way to concerned with moving.
    There is no set destination or even a map showing how to get to the pace that does not exist.
    Yet we must keep moving forward. Toward something that we should not look at.

    The fact that moving is creating a worse education environment for our children and larger government debt for them to deal with has nothing to do with the direction we are moving in. It is always the fault of not moving fast enough in the chosen direction.

    Sometimes I just get tired. I am really starting to believe that we will not look at what is happening till all is run by our benevolent government and we are all working for the government. Then when all is run by or massively regulated by the government and there are no evil corporations left. If all is not fun and games at that time can we please duct tape the mouths of all those who brought us here?

    Not bad.
    Problem with number 1 though is that if all of our telecommunications had been run solely by the government we would have less and have it be more expensive than when getting ripped off by private corps.

    Problem with number 3 is the government has no business forcing anyone to give discounts for anything. Sounds good on the face of it but really I want my government fucking shit up less. Power is something government should have very little of.

    Problem with number 10 is I will be god damned if you can prevent me getting a job because my uncle decided to run for office.

    I do not think you understand.
    I do not have to use the terminal.
    There is almost nothing I can not do in the GUI of Linux that you can do in the GUI of windows.
    The difference is that I can open up a terminal anytime I want and do shitloads more and do it faster.
    The terminal in most desktop distributions of Linux is not a mandatory monthly use tool.
    It is an added powerful feature.

    So your links do not say what you imply that they do.
    Both links only state that Google in order to remove fear from the EU has promised that they will continue to license according to FRAND (fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory). Then they go on to say that they have no intention of charging more than the company already is.
    I guess if you want to assume whatever makes you feel good you can think that they are going to do that. Of course if you want to just guess you could guess that they would be compliant in both statements by charging $1 / year to lic everything.

    My guess is we are both wrong.

    Do not let this stop you from posting more FUD though.
