Open Source, The Patriotic Solution
,----[ Quote ]

Why Patriots should use Linux and other free software
,----[ Quote ]
| The whole idea behind the truth movement of today, whether it be
| anti war, anti new world order, anti gun control, anti big
| government, is to spread information to as many people as
| possible, so that we may reach the critical mass necessary
| to create real change in this country. One of the greatest
| assets we have in spreading this information is through the
| internet, using our computers. Why should we trust this great
| task to a computer that isn't going to do what we want when it
| conflicts with what these giant corporations want it to do.
