	Cliff from ARDI also asked why I say this.

	Yes, the FSF is doing some good work, and much of the software is top  
notch.  It is however the views that Richard Stallman extolls in his  
GNUmanifesto that bother me so deeply.

	Issues of my wanting to control my "ideas" and their use, being an  
issue of controlling others lives, and the idea of a Software Tax.

	People will program for reasons other than money.  I have done alot of  
programming that I don't expect or want to be paid for.  But if I decide I want  
to charge X number of dollars for my work, NOBODY has the right to take it into  
their own hands to "balance the playing field" or penalize me for charging to  
much in ANY form other than to not purchase or use my software.

its source code)
