Good to hear you, John.

They are playing with these words,
making it look like it's all just jokes,
but you just have to look at the power structure
of Canonical/Ubuntu to know that they don't shell out
20 million dollars in 2 years just for a joke.

Software has become a dominant factor in our world
and while trying to replace Windows seems great,
few are waking up to the fact that
we are being steered towards new monopolies.

Mark Shuttleworth is calling it the "battle for the desktop".
And those not laughing in the chorus and swallowing
"humanity towards others" sugar coating, while the general
directs his troops and our computers, are excommunicated.

kind regards     philippe
