I don't agree with you on this. Linux is not a complete operating system to begin with. Richard Stallman definitely has a point when he says that most systems running Linux should actually be called GNU/Linux, because GNU (and other stuff) are the parts that make people want to use it. If you don't count Android as a Linux operating system then you can't count Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Mint etc. either. Compare that with *BSD which are complete operating systems.

Of course you can't count Mac OS X as a *BSD because they just took some parts from a complete operating system and used them and of course you can count Android as a Linux operating system because Linux is just a kernel (which is used by Android).

But why should all kids have to suffer because some parents are stupid? There is of course a risk that the kids from creationist homes will be attending other schools, but I think that it doesn't matter much anyway; they're already so indoctrinated and a few biology classes won't change that. I think that the alternative is better: to have correct and good education. To say that both views have their legitimacy is just plain stupid because that confirms creationism. Instead we have to meet them in open debate, explain why they're wrong and weep for the kids we can't reach, but we can never give way for this oppression of rationality.

That's the price one has to pay for hosting a service. The companies also have to deal with these kinds of things and it's not free so they have to get something out of the deal and in many cases it's your personal information (which is an asset). The only way to stop this is to choose companies with other business models, because I doubt that some tech geeks from the deep goodness of their hearts will work full time to ensure that the rest of the world will have the services they now expect. Although I think that community driven models may work the whole world can't benefit from them because most people are lazy and won't contribute.
