The worlds' addiction to having a life will ensure that the Chinese will want one eventually, too. No need to fret. China is supposedly communist fustercluck that somehow manages to exploit their workers anyway. Eventually the workers will get tired of that shit. It is already too late. Just sit back and enjoy the show.
You've obviously not worked for your typical non-profit, because you give them a Linux or BSD machine and they'll ask how they get AOL running and their maillist to merge into Word.
What the Linux community won't acknowledge is that for 95%+ of the computer users Microsoft software is what they want. They don't want some nifty complex OS that needs a propellerhead to operate successfully.
Your hate of Microsoft clouds your judgement - let it go. Not everyone wants to fight the man. Some people just want to help the less fortunate. They don't have the time for your petty OS wars.
I would suggest that you not look to somewhere, or someone, else to ensure your freedom. Don't look to a piece of paper or to politicians to help you stay free. Look at the graphic - it says "We the People." Not "We the Government" or anything else. We're just people, and to stay free you have to MAKE your freedom. The only freedom you have is the freedom you make. The only justice is the justice you make.
Make your freedom. Destroy that which is confining. Undermine that which is restricting. Become principled. Eschew the common culture. Learn how to use weapons. Learn how to monkeywrench. Learn how to eliminate that which inhibits your freedom. Only then will you be on the path to freedom. Otherwise, you're just another sheep, subserviant to others.
And most importantly, don't infringe on others freedoms. If all of us just adhered that alone we'd never even have to worry about the rest.

There, fixed that for you.
That'll be awesome. Now we can have a Wendy's with all of the ambience and allure of a gas station rest room.
Take you hand and put it up against your forehead. Now twist your fingers into the Chinese letter for 'L.' Look in mirror.
