Actually, just about all the Americans I know personally take criticism of their country surprisingly mildly. As one commented wryly (on anti-American demonstrations), "I see a lot of people burning American flags, but I don't see anyone burning Green Cards." Coming back to the subject of Linux (just for a change), am I right in observing that while in Europe Linux is perceived as left-libertarian thing, in North America it's seen as a right-libertarian thing (to the extent it's seen in political terms at all, that is)? \begin{troll} BTW, I hear the more extreme Bonapartists in MandrakeSoft are splitting off to start their own distribution, called "Linoux Dirigiste". \end{troll} Sir Robin -- "So I repeat myself?
