So what do we do about it?
I just don't get upset with anyone anymore. At the most, if someone
doesn't take responsibility for something, I let it be known in other
ways. I can only resolve things for me, and I leave the issues of
others to them.
And God no I do not want the government to "fix" things.

Unfortunately, too many Linux advocates port over the so-called "choice" from the commercial software world, brand name marketing. The result is false assumptions, failure to focus on the real technical similarities, but loyalty to blind vendor alignments.
