It is extremely unfair for Microsoft to not allow Massachusetts
schools to switch to open source Linux to save money.
Teachers will have to be laid off to pay for Windows
and subsidizing health insurance premiums for poor people.
If Massachusetts voters will force Massachusetts schools
to switch to Linux on all computers then teachers will
be able to keep their jobs.
Ask Microsoft whether it is really right to lay off
teachers in order to rent site liscences for Microsoft
Windows Vista and Microsoft Office Vista in schools.
Is mandatory health insurance for everyone really more
im****tant than teachers keeping their jobs??
Who will provide health care in the future after current
doctors retire and there are no teachers left to teach new doctors?
Mandatory health insurance is very expensive.
