   In you realism you said many bad words about people and companies. I
don't want to be that kind of "realist". I want to be an idealist. Only
idealists can change the world. Realists seems to be slaves of the status
quo. (I am not flaming you, don't take it personnaly.)

   That why instead of just being realistical slaves we must oppose them
and create the free world.

   Thanks goodnes I am not. I live in the world of nice, creative, open,
very helpful people. Gvido van Rossum, Eric Raymond, Linus Torvalds (to
name a few most notable persons); and they are not only brilliant
programmers - they are idealists who are changing the world. Linux and
"Computer Programming for Everybody", Python and Free Software Movements!

   Not only. Protecting our freedom, too.
