It's not quite the same thing but in the Uk it is estimated that up to 60% or more of people attending her majesties pleasure have poor basic skills which includes being unable to read, write or do simple math. I haven't seen the figures for the homeless but what's the betting? Combine this with the mental illness issue and all the other issues that might arise and you have a lot of people who need help and care.
A lot of people who are disenfanchised or have disenfranchised them selves from the system have problems with the system itself. If the system wants to start tracking them....well I for one would feel more under the thumb, more oppressessed.
If you are going to throw money at the matter, surely the place to aim for is where it will directly influence the lives of those invovled in terms of the issues they face every day.
I was told at school that there are enough resources in the world to clothe, feed and house everybody in the world. What a bad idea. Let's better utilise resources by invading everyones privacy.
The idea of linux has very little to do with what it is in its self. I think linux is a tag that non-technical people can understand as an alternative to m$. They don't have to know what it is in its self and that doesn't matter.
My girlfriend has been finding and sending me anti-m$ and pro-linux stuff that she has found or been sent on the net. She has no idea what linux is. All she knows is micro$oft is wrong and linux is right.
Non-geeks don't need to understand this sort of thing. It doesn't matter what people think linux is. We need to get the message (propaganda) out there and raise awareness.
Who cares what non geeks understand. Non geeks employ us to tell them the way things are.......so tell them, just don't confuse them.
