"WAKE UP, freedom should be all encompassing, you can't pick and choose which freedoms you want and those you don't want. In the end there will be no freedom at all."
I think you said it all in that one sentence, nice to see that there are still people in this country who understand what freedom REALLY means!
No matter what your beliefs are, there will always be someone who disagrees (and even finds those beliefs offensive), so if you want the freedom to keep your beliefs, then be tolerant of the beliefs of others.
Between this, and the Diebold fiasco it would seem a good idea for an open source/Linux project to write a secure voting system. With many governments opening up to the idea of open source, it might just fly (and make for fair elections too).
You guys are BRUTALLY cold hearted. In all the discussion I see very little about the misfortune of the poor guy who got fired over a simple mistake. This is a truly sad occurence. This sort of thing could happen to any of us at any time (although it is rumored that many Slashdotters are unemployed). If it happened to any of you would you not hope for at least a little sympathy or help???
