There you go... doesn't take long for your true colors to come out. someone
offers a simple, random observation of OS usage, taken from real life
statistics, and because they don't jive with your twisted sense of reality,
you turn it to what you think of a slam on religion and family values.
let me enlighten you a little.
Not everyone in Salt Lake is Mormon,
Mormons DO NOT PRACTICE POLYGAMY.
Unfortunately there is as much crime, social problems and racial issues here
as anywhere else.
Utah is apparently not so "inbred" as to attract companies such as Intel,
Novell, Ebay.. just to name a few.
and apparently 99.4% of the population is smart enough not to use Linux.
Clime back under your rock, go play with your feisty fawn, jamin' jeff ,
slippery snake, or whatever idiotic thing their calling the latest distro.
A-hole !
