Some people deserve all kinds of respect

Lenny Bruce - the police raided a club while Bruce was onstage, and a comedian in the audience told the cop to stop and leave him alone. The police later asked him for ID but the comedian replied that he didn't believe in ID, so they locked him up for the night. That Comedian was who we know as George Carlin.

That was an amazing time in american history yet it's not very well known. Another such situation is in the works right now and I believe it's my duty to tell you about it. John Gilmore is a millionaire who lives in San Francisco who is sinking lots of money into a fight against identification requirements. Even though I think most of this guy's beliefs are crap I think this one is a good one. Many civil liberties groups begged him not to take this case because he'll probably lose, which I'd rather him not do the case than lose but what can you expect from a co-founder of the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation). A case like this needs to be planned out. If he does win I will rejoice, if he loses, just another reason to hate the EFF. There is going to be a lot happening in the coming few years so be sure to watch what is happening, keep an eye on politics because many of your rights both civil and electronic are on trial.

On another note, Ubuntu, I love you guys. Edubuntu is good too, it's for a younger generation and I'd say we NEED it right about now. We need to start teaching people there's another option besides windows because a lot of people don't know how good of a tool a vast knowledge of operating systems can be. XYZcomputing has come out with an article about why they believe Ubuntu is so good, it's worth a read because it's pretty short and not bad at all.

I must say Thank you to Ubuntu because of their and their communities dedication.
