It's a question of morality. If I give a beggar money, I may be contributing to his alcohol or drug habit. If I give him food, I'm not contributing directly to his habit, but the money that he gets elsewhere that he might have used for food he is now free to use on drugs. Does that mean I should just leave him to starve?
We have no control over what people do apart from us. It's a question of are we being morally responsible with our part? Putting federal funds into something which is morally questionable sullies the consciences of millions of Americans.
In general, I haven't been a fan of Bush, but I am extraordinarily impressed with the wisdom of this decision.
Exactly. This is actually a good counter-example to Microsoft's arguments about the evil GPL. Good luck to Tux Racer, and show Craig Mundie a thing or two.
How many people in White America really understand their passive power over minorities? Far too many just dismiss anyone who brings it up as a fanatic.
They don't believe the accusations and they have little incentive to do so.
I'm not sold on this being the case with MS and its detractors, but it could help me understand how a normal human with some degree of common decency might work for a company that seems to specialize in injustice.
