Hate to inform you
but in case you haven't noticed just about everything is made in China, India or Mexico.

"I'll stick with with my money going back into the economy and not lining the pockets of governments around the world. "

Microsoft... outsources a lot of thier development to India, Sun... them too. HP, Dell... tech support outsourced to India. Your PC, well the parts were made in China or Taiwan, some may have even been made in Mexico. If you drive a Ford it's made either in Mexico or Canada.

The bottom line is there is really not much left that is American or made in America anymore. Every time you buy something your money is going overseas.

As for Linux the NSA has taken Linux and created the Security Enhanched Linux [url=http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/](SEL)[/url].

As for countries insisting thier people use Linux, do you even know why? It's because one they are tired of being under the control of an American company, two it's not making their country any money to keep Microsoft and three Microsoft refuses to play nice in the sandbox. This nation and it's greed are the reason for the backlash from the world and even people within this nation. The backlash also stems from the fact that we are overstepping our boundaries and disregarding the rights of other soveriegn nations. Kind of like a school yard bully.

As for terrorist being paid by Mozilla or any other Open Source business, are you for real? Again let's look at all the American corporations that are outsourcing to foriegn nations, this is including medical records of American citizens. You need to stop, you're killing me with laughter!

Nice to know what kind of kid you were in school.
