First off I will state, that I don't really get into politics, I'm not good at debate, and my only stance in all of the this is Gentoo.
I stand behind Gentoo the beloved distro that we all hold dear.
While reading the posts in here involving the current situation, I started to think about a piece advice that was given
to me by a previous employer that I have never forgotten and try to live by in my daily life.
"As scary and uncertain as change might be, you have to embrace change. If you do not embrace change you
will never succeed, you will always be stuck doing the same thing you've always done."
I just thought I would throw this out there for all to read and ponder. |

Actually it was during the interview, the company at the time was getting into some pretty inovative stuff.
It made sense to me, and just kind of stuck.  |

| I was only joking. The advice is good though - I appreciate changes too, but sometimes I also experience times of stagnation like I do at the moment - but ... something's in the air |
