Hey, I'm running for state office (www.edrevolt.org) and am campaigning against both Microshaft - www.freedomware.us - and George W. Bush - www.jail4bush.org!
I'm not asking for $1,000 contributions, but it would be nice if a few people would help spread the word.
I've long been plugging Mozilla/Firefox on my websites, particularly, my anti-Microsoft site at www.freedomware.us
I'm also running for state office and making Microsoft and open source software campaign issues - in Bill Gates' back yard. See my campaign website at www.edrevolt.org.
I wish more web designers would take charge of their profession and start plugging quality (i.e. non-Microsoft) software!
Well, here's my prediction:
If America's legal system is too corrupt and dysfunctional to hold Bill Gates accountable (and most citizens, including even many open source fans, don't even give a damn), then the international community will do the job for us.
I believe the European Union's recent fine marked the beginning of a high-tech Cold War. Japan's government cited the EU's action in relation to its raid on a Microsoft outpost. Of course, many nations are pursuing Linux as an alternative to Microsoft.
I do not believe that an eventual Linux victory over Microsoft in the U.S. is inevitable. I think Bill Gates and his partner in crime, George W. Bush, are powerful, corrupt and sneaky enough to beat all comers.
But the international scene is different. If a U.S. court declared that SCO and George Bush own the legal rights to every open source software program except GIMP, I think other nations would give them the middle finger. They would flat out refuse to surrender their rights to use open source software any way they see fit.
Thus, I look to Europe, Eastern Asia and the Third World for deliverance from Microsoft. Personally, I hope Bill Gates falls soon, and I hope he falls hard. Real hard.
