politics

Was snooping around Stallman's politics page, and it's downright depressing and makes you angry. Corporations should be responsible for human rights and the environment. Terrorism should not be "decontextualized"; that's just a disingenuous way of justifying oppression in many situations. Article at The Age, where you have to register, but can use BugMeNot. For example, try "freepass" as both the login and password.

Is it worse to kill a child than kill someone who's 30 years old, say? I don't know, but I think it's definitely worse for a child to survive a terrorist occupation like in the Russian school, than for an adult to survive it. Still, survival is probably much better than death.

By the way, this link gives the transcript of the Keyes interview.
