Most Palestinian terrorists would argue that the occupied territories is a prison and that the entire palestinian people is behind bars. The Middle East situation is not about religion or culture, it is about politics and war.
I really don't want to believe in cultural relativism, and even less in ethical relativism. It goes completely against my deepest-felt moral sentiments.
But the more I think about it, the more I realize that I feel this way because of the culture I am part of, and maybe to a degree because of sentiments hard-wired in the human brain.
However, I have the set of values I have, and they won't change easily, and I'm going to do whatever I can to promote them. I want everyone to have the same values as I.
Of course, I still feel this way because of the culture I am part of, and because of sentiments hard-wired in the human brain.
Not to downplay the great achievement of Mac-ifying OOO, it is by far the best MS Office alternative for OS X yet. The only thing that keeps me from deleting the only remaining MS software on my HD is that my work (a publishing house) actually requires me to open and save in MS Word 5.1 for Macintosh format. Am I the only one who misses this? Has that format been reverse-engineered yet?

Well put!
And by the way, if you don't like that one for some reason, I found a lot more of them here.
The ABC-80 was the first computer I ever saw, and I think the same is true of a lot of Swedes.
I read somewhere that it was basically a clone of the Tandy/Radio Shack TRS-80.
