 		<p>At first glance, it may not seem that the bill affects individuals, but don't be fooled; this is a hugely positive step forward for everyone! If the state is using Free Software, that most likely means it'll be used in education aswell.</p>
 		<p>Although perhaps not immediately and readily apparent, this is a stake in the heart of proprietary software's current dominance, because it would remove one key element of its attack against us; its abuse of education services.</p>
 		<p>If education services are using Free Software, that means they'll probably have children (the ones being educated) using it too. This is a <em>huge</em> step, and it will result in more Free Software developers in the future. Free Software will become more and more mainstream to the masses, which can surely only be a good thing!</p>
-		<p>Freedom is always superior. The more people that have it, the better off we all are, because freedom is also collective; it relies on others around us also having it, so that we can defend each other. We fought for our rights before, when we founded modern nations&emdash;democracies&emdash;so that we the people have inalienable rights of our own, our basic human rights, and not to have dictatorships and monarchs who may violate them.  Slowly, subtlely, but very effectively, proprietary software is taking away the freedoms we always fought for.  What we fought for, for seven centuries, would be gone in the matter of decades.  If more people have it, especially if it results in more Free Software developers in the future, that's one thing, but imagine if <em>more</em> states like what they see and start to copy the new legislation.</p>

 		<p>Now imagine that countries besides the US start doing it, inspired by the US's success (and I think it will be a resounding success).</p>
 		<p>Imagine a world where <a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">Free Software</a>, free as in freedom, is the default everywhere. Imagine a world where <a href="https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html">Free Software licensing</a> is required reading material in schools. <em>Imagine a world where any five year old can install a free operating system such as GNU+Linux, and Computer Science is mandatory in schools from a young age. Imagine filing your tax returns with Free Software, exclusively. Imagine not even thinking about that, because it became the norm.</em></p>
 		<p><em>Imagine a world where proprietary software doesn't exist, because it is obsolete; entire generations of people are taught to value freedom, and to staunchly defend it, helping each other learn and grow (and produce better software in the process, with less bugs, because people are now free to do that, without relying on some evil company).</em></p>
