Regrettable

At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not disappointed when individuals or organizations such as governments around the world take some of our terminology and apply it to programs that are diametrically opposed to our own programs.  We know that we are not alone in this, as evidenced by the co-opting of the phrase "Internet Freedom" by politicians to mean almost the opposite of its original intent.  Both major US parties embrace "Internet Freedom," but by that phrase they do not mean that they support the right of all to use the network, but that they support the freedom of copyright holders and the freedom of service providers.  This convolution and re-assignment of terminology has also produced the debate of Pro-Life and Pro-Choice.  The astute observer would notice that both sides of the debate are for something, and that by definition, then, everyone agrees and there is no debate.  But there is a debate, and they do not agree.  This clever word-trickery allows politicians to hide their evils and to denigrate their opponents, but it isn't limited to politics.  Many times this sort of thing ends up dividing society and shaping the opinions of the masses so that discrimination or other practices that harm certain individuals are encouraged.  At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are for equal rights for all, and if you don't agree with our definition of equal rights you are welcome to petition us to change our stance.  After all, you have equal rights as well!
