I just subscribed to LINUX Journal - Hear that NSA?

8. Please explain this analogy?

I'm not a fanboy of Microsoft, Apple, Adobe and most other proprietary software. Or of automobiles. Or for that matter, trucks that are used as personal displays of dumb-ass U.S.A. masculinity, not for ordinary daily dirty work.

Linux works for what I do, it makes upgrades easy, and I've got every computer I've ever had and many I've worked with just a click or two away on my desktop. All the files too. All readable and usable, stuff going back to the 'seventies. Accomplishing the same thing with Apple or Microsoft machines is often an expensive pain in the ass.

What kind of sedition is rolling coal? It just wastes diesel fuel, damages the environment, and annoys other people.

The guy minding his own business, walking down the sidewalk, using a linux PDA, is not the coal roller. The guy in the big truck blowing smoke is.

I'm also certain the NSA is not entirely clean. Some of it is, some of it isn't, just like any other law enforcement agency in the U.S.A.., from small town police departments on up.

We are not a nation without corruption.
