Why I Am Not A "Linux Advocate"
2008-10-27 23:37:00 At first, you might mistake me for a "Linux advocate". I'm running a site about Free and Open Source Software (FOSS), of which Linux is counted as an example. I certainly bring up Linux and the programs that run on it a lot. Yet my purpose here is actually not advocacy for a particular system. In the first place, I do cover BSD, Solaris, and other FOSS systems also. Many of what will run on one runs on the other. In the second place, to tie my "loyalty" to Linux would be just as bad as to tie it to a proprietary system. No matter how well Linux does now, there's no saying that it couldn't be corrupted to something worse later. I examine Linux (and all FOSS) with the same critical eye I would proprietary software. I have used Linux for ten years and have it installed on four machines and have sampled dozens of distros; and even then, it's still on probation. To do otherwise would be to stop treating technology like technology and treat it like a religion. My purpose here is onl...

?Whatever it takes to avoid creating a new human is what we advocate.?
2008-05-12 14:20:00 In order to save the planet, some folks recycle, some take the bus. Others may buy organic in order to limit the use of chemicals. Then, there are those that call for the extiction of the human race: The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement, or VHEMT, consists of volunteers who have made active life decisions to remain childless for the benefit of the Earth, thereby preventing the extinction of millions of species of plants and animals. While no one person takes credit for being the founder, Les U. Knight created its name and is the spokesperson for the movement. “We’ve already exceeded Earth’s carrying capacity for humans by quite a bit,” Knight told WND. “We are using up our resources. The best way to stop it is by not breeding. It’s really the best way because the people we don’t create don’t exist, and so there’s no impact on them.” How does he know “We’ve already exceeded Earth’s carrying capacity for...

ARE YOU A REALTOR? IF SO, YOU ARE HONOR BOUND TO BE AN ADVOCATE

I'd like to visit with you today, whether you are a home buyer or seller, or you are a licensed real estate professional. Attorneys have for years taken the position that their service to their clients is as the client's advocate. The attorney's job is to prepare and substantiate as best he can, your argument that your position is the correct one; that your adversary's is the incorrect one. And he presents your argument to the court within the rules of evidence. And that is exactly how attorneys justify taking the cases of clients whose positions they know in their hearts are incorrect. It's how they justify defending a murderer or the child beater when they know he's guilty. They are the bad guy's advocate, not his partner. Real estate professionals are advocates, too. Our job is to advance our clients' positions and to make certain that how things turn out for them ...
