[NTLUG:Discuss] Open source analogy

[Donald Davis]

M$ 
is 
like 
the 
socialist 
candidate 
(fill 
in 
the 
blank, 
there 
are 
several)
who 
has 
no 
problem 
writing 
checks 
funded 
by 
future 
tax 
obligations.
It 
makes 
people 
feel 
good 
and 
allows 
them 
to 
go 
about 
their 
day-to-day
business 
without 
thinking 
too 
much 
about 
how 
they 
have 
given 
their
decisions 
over 
to 
their 
leaders.

Linux 
is 
like 
that 
tiny 
minority 
that 
detests 
socialists, 
who 
think 
about
what 
is 
behind 
political 
demagoguery 
and 
who 
back 
candidates
who 
believe 
in 
the 
wisdom 
of 
our 
founding 
fathers 
and 
fiscal 
responsibility.
(Not 
a 
hard 
choice, 
there 
is 
only 
one).
