I think when those, like Congressman, develop some moral character rather
than looking at their retirement portfolio which includes MS stock.  MS
stock has been like gold standard such as Home Depot in most people's eyes,
or even pharmaceutical stock.  I don't see people in power shooting their
major investments down.  So Linux has an uphill battle in that respect, just
as we citizens have an uphill battle to keep the rights and freedoms
inherently buried in the idea of Open Source.  It's all tied together in
what America really stands for.   A high moral standard, a strong work
ethic, and freedom of speech are where I see America and Open Source tie
together.  However, it really isn't just America, but all people who quietly
work hard all around the world to make it a better place.  Okay no more
soapbox and sorry for the political/moral shout.  But, now I've typed it so
I'm going to send it for better or worse. ;-)
