Really strange this absolute needs of beeing independent from Governments.
If I'm not happy with my governement, I vote for someone else next time. I
have a voice to say yes or no and this has not been an abvious right to
obtain in many countries. Independance? Regarding what or who?!

In France, if we want to buy computers in schools for our childrens, we have
to pay x$ for each plateform to microsoft even if we don't want to use windows
because they are preinstalled. How do you call that if not a TAX? I've never
voted for Bill Gates, did I?

I agree, Governments might not be perfect, but are you sure that the independance
you are talking about would not be more dangerous than a balanced representation?
