I believe we should all get educated, and make an informed decision for ourselves as well as our kids. As you might have guessed, I'd be on the side that would rather not.
You mean that you don't want to be educated and make informed decsions? Yep, that's exactly what I guessed.
It seems to me that Obama cares the most about 'constitutional limitations on Presidential powers' out of the last eight presidents. In fact, you have to go back to Grover Cleveland to find the last president who average less than Obama has so far.
Microsoft is the big winner here. Not because some little IT shop is going to upgrade to Win2K instead of NT4.0.
The win for M$ will manifest itself in the form of some weenie company president reading the letter about how using Linux can get his company sued unless they pay up. He has his assistant tell the CIO that Linux is no longer allowed. Voila! More money for Bill.
The bigger win will come over the longer term as the M$ flacks can use this as yet another 'example' of how Open Source Is Bad For You(tm).

It's interesting that you're suggesting that Obama's executive actions mean he doesn't care about the Constitution.
Here are some stats to show average number of executive orders per year by president:
Nixon: 62.3
Ford: 69.0
Carter: 80.0
Reagan: 47.6
Bush Sr.: 41.5
Clinton: 45.5
Bush Jr.: 36.4
Obama (Through Oct. 20, 2014): 33.6

It's this kind of stuff that really makes me sad for the direction our country could go.
Unfortunately we're already there...
'nuff said.
take it apart and put it in a bin with the thousands of other Lego pieces that you've got.
That's what I started doing almost 30 years ago (I'm 37 now) and it's what my 14 year old son does.
I saved all of my Legos, directions and box backs and have passed them down to him.
I have four kids (2 boys, 2 girls ages 7 - 14) and they spend hours building all sorts of great creations.
Lego's not dead...It just lost it's way.
Especially if we sent Bush there!

Of course this is IMHO...
I would argue that even if censorship is going down the instances of censorship are more visible.
And if censorship is going down, why is that? Could it be because the forces of evil are winning and there are fewer voices speaking out?
