At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not appalled by inequalities and oppression, which is why when we heard of the great lengths John P. Garrity went to to get compensation for the loss of his pinky finger we decided it was time for the GPD to crack down on anti-pinkiless sentiment around the world. The problem is not a new one. People without pinky fingers have been shunned for milennia. The earliest known record of pinkiless discrimination is recorded in the Greek tragedy Heracleidae, but there are countless incidents ancient and modern where the fully-fingered have maligned those unfortunate enough to have no pinky finger or a partial pinky finger. One wouldn't think that such a small finger would matter, but for some reason people have often heaped ridicule on those who don't possess it. Even the Beatles' movie Help! has jokes about how Ringo wouldn't miss his pinky since he doesn't use it.
Regardless of the reasons people persecute the pinkiless, we believe them to be wrong, and are hereby issuing a decree that anyone found acting on anti-pinkiless sentiment will be held accountable.
