All the Perl that's Practical to Extract and Report
I pour the blue liquid on the red liquid. If it doesn't blow up on my
face, I proceed to turn up the flame under the blue liquid, and so on.
I have very little idea of what I am really doing, I just like the
pretty colors :-)

I decided I am a communist (Score:1)
I decided, because technology has implications on the rest of our society, to promote free software.
I decided that libertarian left-wing politics should embrace worker control wherever it take hold; hence: if I support worker control in general, I should support free software in particular.
I promote free software because it is made by and for the people who use it, without much interference from bosses.
I promote free UNIX because it is useful, costs nothing, and makes me happy.
I publish my own programs on the network in the hope that they will be useful for at least one human being.
I decided what I am doing. And I decided I am a communist.
Because software affects the society I live in, and because "political" is broadly used to indicate anything that affects society, and because I care about what sort of society I live in, I make "political" choices about software.
I give meanings to the things I do.
I want to be helpful to people, I want to do something useful for people. I decided that one way to do this is being communist.
Hugs all around!
