Hell no. We need Devil's Advocates at the very minimum.

From time to time I tell people I'm a "true communist"
too, as evidenced by all my public domain software.

I'm demonstrating the "from each according to their
ability", without the need for a communist dictator.

Most communists I have met are very good at the
"to each according to their needs (and they "need"
a lot)" but not so good when I start asking what
they can do that is within their ability.

Absolutely! I even disagree with myself. I am
constantly challenging everything in my brain.

Previously I was under the impression that there
was no apparent standard for small systems, but
currently I am saying "apparently there is - what
is it? Can you figure out what it is from first
principles? Why didn't the Amiga use it? Was it
because of copyright issues?".

BFN. Paul.
