I understand some do not like bringing politics into this list. However it is all relevant. I'm a LAMP developer. I have deep concerns that the Federal Government will at some point start to regulate Open Source / Free Software.

I've known Lyle for sometime and his heart is in the right place.

This nation was birthed on freedom... And today a baby can be caused to be delivered prematurely and cut to pieces while it's heart is still beating. This is called abortion.

I think these are discussions we need to have because it will soon be Linux they come after. Then what?

All it will take is for the likes of Bill Gates to grease the palms of a handful of politicians and the next thing you know you will only be able to boot M$.

Didn't we see that with the law that says you cannot root your phone? These types of things are the opposite of freedom. We should have the freedom to buy whatever phone we want and buy minutes from any carrier. Instead the Cellular providers influence politicians to pass laws that take away our freedom. This is called crony capitalism.

Crony capitalism may effect Open Source / Free Software at some point. A free and open market allows us to vote with our dollars. That is not the system we have today. We have a system where the wealthy and big business buy politicians and they pass laws that aid the wealthy and big business. AND this is at our expense.

I'm for freedom. I do not care if you worship a pole or a cow, or nothing at all. I do not care if you run M$, Apple, or Linux. I do not care if you want to eat meat or abstain from meat. AND I hope you will allow me the same latitude.

I personally support the least amount of law - just the minimum to protect the masses.

Lyle is right here is a sleight of hand taking place.

Subject: Wedding ring is in for repair again this year...
Just passing this on with no comment, interesting observation
though....

The Wedding ring is in for repair again this year. Since when does
a plain wedding band need repairs, along with your watch, for a
whole month? In a press conference last week Obama was not wearing
his wedding ring nor was he wearing his watch. When noticed, his
staff said his ring was out for repairs. No reason was given for the
missing watch.

So it's just a coincidence that Muslims are forbidden from wearing
jewelry during the month of Ramadan...

Can't possibly be that, because although he hasn't gone to a
Christian church service since entering the White House, we know
he's a committed Christian "cause he said so during his campaign"

This is the same president that spent the Christmas holidays in
Hawaii to avoid religious obligations as president at the White
House. His children do not receive Christmas presents. Let's just
face the facts and quit trying to distort the truth, we have a
Muslim for president in the White House, and he has no knowledge of
American history.

I love this country; it's the current government leadership I worry
about!
