> ideological purity of which they were once so proud
Being so doesn't really help, you might have noticed that was yet another lesson.

Besides that, ideology that theoretically concurs with what it strives to practically kill is flawed somewhere... (guess it's rather to be understood by those who either live[d] here, or studied the history quite well -- which might be useful for americans since their country is moving the same ol' road)

> It's never too late to "get straight".
Well if you don't know or remember, america ignored European copyrights for something like 70 years or two centuries, don't recall exactly this early in the morning. And it didn't quite get it straight anytime, especially now.

So it depends on what is to be considered "straight", and if asked recursively, this question leads to what our previous regime fought insanely...

PS: disclaimer: I use Linux exclusively since 1998, am involved in free consulting fulltime and taught it at lic145.kiev.ua around 2001 (planning on take two -- some children have thanked already...)
