"The fact is, these people play by their own rules (no rules at all). As long as the "good guys" insist on dealing with them on the ethical high road, the problem will never go away."
The same argument could be made about the police and the anti-terrorists. I don't know about you, but I prefer that they have to follow rules.
"so why are so many American dumb enough to think that the government magically finds money and that the hundreds of billions or even trillions a year needed for "free" health care won't be paid for with tax dollars?"
Not so dumb. The government magically found $810 billons just now...
What about free software in this context? If you lose money because of a bug in the Linux kernel you send a bill to all the contributors? Or you put a low that only registered distributors can distribute software? And if you changed
one line in an open source app and recompiled it , who is responsible now?
No that is really really really bad, you now have free Linux and pay Linux. The free Linux will bw see as crippleware and 10 years down half of a Linux system will be closed source paid apps with shinny DRM. This is a dangerous precedent.

You must be reading slashdot with a higher comment score threshold than me.
"minimally violated."
Yeah, like being minimally raped.
"No return on health care."
Unless you count having a healthy population (workforce) as worth something.

"Make your own decision."
Shit! Now I can't make a decision! Damn you untrustworthy person!
"Dont trust anybody what they say about your "privacy".
Install Firefox 3, AdBlock+, noscript, and torbutton.
You want complete anonymity, click torbutton (you have to set up tor). You're now damned hidden. No cookie leaks and stuff;.

I do not trust you. So I will not do this :)

If I would say the same about an internet connection it would be flamebait, but a cell phone, sheesh. There is alternatives, landlines and pay phones.
Moded by a sheep it seems, this is no flamebait. Ok, the title is, kinda.
