We have enough music to last the world 10 billion years, and too many
books at it is. Enough plays to re-incarnate 3000 times and not be able
to see them all. Price of chips falling at such rates that in 10 years
we'll
be having 1gigahertz pentiums costing $2. How about we go to a local
Tower Records, and turn every CD into MP3's... you'd have so much music
you wouldn't know what to do.
All these stuff rapes us of our attention of being humans, of being able to
realize, our Elian-clogged consciousnesses deserve better from the crap
(C) "intellectual property" consciousness that produces year after year the
total garbage we always see.
Jefferson said, every like 3 years there should be a revolution. Well I
think we are long over do myself, and it can be peaceful, and it can mean
that true freedom can occur.

I would like to see my grandchildren, on anything over 500mhz, running
Linux, StarOffice, and free software. The ability to get anything they want
with the click of a mouse, the ability to USE services, and value adding to
the information age, instead of constricting it like Microsoft does.

What is really unreal is that the majority of the people on the internet,
have
pirated copies of "something", have a few MP3's at least on their drives,
have gotten copies of tapes, or videotapes from friends. Have done things
"illegal"
With the end of (C), and patents, and the embracing of Open Source, and
free software, everything becomes a mute point... total nonsense.
This is why I use Linux and promote it...
because it isn't an old way of thinking, it is a new way.
If anyone thinks I am nuts, just remember, I am under 25, and a lot of my
friends in school think like this, near all of them, so its not just one
lone
girl on the net. It's a lot of us.
Hehehe -- should I start my own list? I think Omegaman is going to give
me the boot for doing this.
Let's hear what he has to say, because I really don't want to be a burden
here turning an Omega list, into a debate on the meaning of freedom
as applied to software, and open source, and Linux, and why we should
all start using it and end the slavery of our technological system (hehehe
had to get that in)
