And yet I knew people who lived in rural Alberta (Lethbridge) who 
believed the metric system was communist conspiracy to destroy our 
infrastructure.

Huh, and I thought it was their anti-gun stuff! :-)

When in reality, we now know, according to Steve Ballmer, that Linux is 
the true communist plot set to destroy our economy!

without destroying themselves. Judging this limit is the true artistry 
of government. Misuse of power is the fatal sin. The law cannot be a 
tool of vengeance, never a hostage, nor a mortification against the 
martyrs it has created. You cannot threaten any individual and escape 
the consequences."
