Given that the U.S. seems at present to be driven by narrow special interests (I *hope* I am wrong), I am gratified by the extent to which Linux, and increasingly other open source projects, remain international in scope.
I am proud to be an American in the long-dead classic sense, being a strong advocate of a diverse, strong and open society. I am disgusted with the new American style, in the sense of being driven by narrow interests who impoverish society by disabling our creativity to advance their own ends.
The irony here is that America used to represent the amazing capacity of FREE people to build real wealth in an open society.
To the world community: Please try to be patient with us, we will keep trying to block the thieves. In the meantime, please try to keep freedom alive in the rest of the world while we try to resurrect it here.
