I thought of people in Spain going Linux and bought a bottle of Spanish 
sparkling wine to celebrate the year changeover.  There are many reasons 
to use Linux, but one of the most important aspects of it is 
(tactfully?) ignored for the most part.  If you cooperate with and 
financially support a sinister companies like "W", then you are also 
guilty of damaging the world community.  It's something like how the 
police arrest people who aid and assist criminals.  As human beings, we 
have a responsibility to resist that which is wrong, and not just look 
for the easiest path to walk on or use sophistry to give ourselves 
excuses to defend the indefensible.

- My New Year's blurb in the spirit of hoping for a peaceful world in 
which not only illegal and sinister people profit.  A fat sheep isn't 
necessarily a happy one!
