Regarding the universal brainwashing - I was not exempt myself:
at medical school I cut open alive drugged rats, just to study them, and didn't find anything unusual about that, like anyone else around me - at least nobody said anything. The rats were afterwards thrown away. Only years later it started to dawn on me what I was doing to a living being. Then I started to understand why some people were against vivisection - previously I, like most people had dismissed them as cranks.
As somone has already pointed out somewhere - this is America: If Michael Moore had told a single lie, he would spend all his days now in court, with literally hundreds of lawsuits against him - there are enough interested parties who have enough money and who would be very glad to spend it for such a cause.
The fact that this has not happened speaks for itself.

And how! But the brainwashing goes so deep that you can't really expect anyone to notice such details.
Solaris is just as free as Linux ... and soon to catch up and surpass on intel platforms too.
first let's wait for that to happen... reconsidering the matter won't be a problem.
