Hi Steve,
Well, yes, it is sort of a joke when I append whatever with the censored
N-word. The serious side is when we tacitly support the unreasonable
accumulation of power, particularly power over software and even the
control of our own machines. Have we not already seen this movie?
We are all too often told we shouldn't joke about such things or even
mention them, especially mention them in a negative connotation such as
comparing them to villains of history or those who supported the
villains of history. Where would the villains have been without support?
