Stallman: Thousands Dead, Millions Deprived of Liberties (2001)
1389101 story Stallman: Thousands Dead, Millions Deprived of Liberties 1632 Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday September 17, 2001 @03:36PM from the well-said-man dept. Hobart noted that Richard Stallman has written a very well said piece on the civil liberties that we will no doubt be deprived of following the recent terrorist attacks on the US. I know RMS takes a lot of heat for being out there sometimes, but this is a really well said bit and worth a read.
