Yeah, it is indeed possible to twist it such that it sounds bad. The important point is that one's freedom ends where another's starts. Unlimited freedom would be freedom to trample over others' freedoms too, and that's not right. That's why freedom of choice has to be used with care. Even fundamental human rights sometimes clash with each other. We don't fight for the freedoms as goals in themselves. We fight for them because we understand they're essential for the common good. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ FSF Latin America Board Member http://www.fsfla.org/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED], gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist [EMAIL PROTECTED], gnu.org} - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
