The big winner in the debate: marijuana. All five candidates declared their support for making it available for medicinal purposes. It was the only thing on which they all agreed. Wednesday, September 03, 2003

So the long and short of it is, if you don't want to use their software, don't use it. Get your own system running. Try Linux. It's free, it's open-source, and there is no monopoly...The only thing missing is a link to Liberty Dollars, the monetary equivalent of open source software in his comparison.

I'm trying to follow the ideals of Henry David Thoreau, in his essay On Civil Disobedience. Thoreau refused to cooperate with The Machine of oppressive government and encouraged all moral people to do the same. He referred to this "civil disobedience" as creating friction in the machine. Given enough friction for a long enough period of time, the machine will break.
