PAC's are not a bad idea. It is how the system works in DC. I do wish
folks wouldn't allude to Linux as being 'free, as in beer' though.
Everyones time is worth something, Linux takes time, as does anything
done well.

beer to buy their own beer, but you have to be righteous about what
you're asking for."
