Ubuntu blues

[Martin Alderson]

For gods sake, it's not a damn religion. It's an operating system - a
means to an end.

Morales should not be 'opensource software for desktop'. It should be
things like violence, racism, equality etc etc etc.

Children will 'grow up' and learn about this stuff in their own time.
Just teach them what they need to know and the stuff they need for
later life, not give them a crash course on why the GPL is far suprior
to MIT licensing.
