Bob, ok, I'll bite.
"I have better things to do with my time than stage infantile protests just to gain attention and seek out the fame associated with it. No matter how you try to justify this thing, that is the only reason you are doing it." Whoa, Trigger! That's a pretty broad statement. If I may speak, I'm protesting for a number of reasons: 1 - I think that SCO is severely messed up 2 - Perhaps if SCO sees some local people protesting, SCO might understand that maybe they are not making good decisions. After all, protests are RARE in Utah County. 3 - I happen to have Friday off, and I'm looking forward to spending quality time chatting with UUG'ers. 4 - I need to get some sun. I work 11 hour days, leaving before the sun comes up and coming back as it is going down. I'm neon white. Give me a break, conspiracy boy. Strange, "fame and glory" didn't make the list. Perhaps I'm an statistical outlier? You decide. No wait. Probably better let someone else decide. "It will not change anything in the case. It will not hurt SCO. It is only being done to gain recognition." um, ok. So if you're correct we ought to stay inside and just hope that things will resolve themselves. That's good, Ghandi. Lets all hold hands and wish for a better world. Kumbaya. As for me, I am reminded of the epic words of Thomas Paine. In the dawning of our nation, back in 1778, that patriot boldly fought for those ideals he held most dear. In his famous essay, "The Crisis", he warned about false patriots who fail to uphold liberty during turbulent trials, "These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph." Let us go onward to battle my friends! > I'm sad to see how far down the list has gone. But as Despair, Inc. put it so well: > http://www.despair.com/idiocy.html Perhaps they should also make a clever image for apathy, fear and weakness. ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
