    Combining French snobbery with Linux snobbery could set off some kind of chain reaction.

    How soon until Quebec joins the Bloc de L’nux?

        No doubt, but this is a step in the right direction. If it works it proves the value of further breaking away from the US. While we still buy whatever they’re selling, and provide support loading their bombs for their wars.
