Seriously? You think I want to see people who don't have a choice? I don't.

But if people don't care about fighting for that choice (doesn't matter if that's because of ignorance or because they don't really want to have choice in the first place) then it would be taken from it.

I'm only discussing the implications.

Who are these mythical “we”? 2½ geeks? They don't really matter much in the grand theme of things. The majority of people? They don't care and thus it's not even worth discussing if war would be lost or not. We can can only discuss how and when that loss would happen.

> But thanks for making me look like RMS. Thanks for making me look like a person who actually DOES BELIEVE in personal choice.

He is also a person who went from someone whose voice was important to someone who is ostracized and [almost] kicked out from his own organization, don't forget that.

It's only matter of time when both his and yours opinions would become irrelevant.

Mine don't matter much, too, I freely admit that. But at least I don't pretend that I can do things which I can not, really, do.
