Obviously, the state of things in Germany is much better than things here 
in the states.

here in the states, as far as almost every single magazine is concerned, 
Linux *does not* exist. It is ignored.

IMHO, Everyone here is on the the Dos/Windoze bandwagin, and is too 
stupid/lazy ot learn a real OS.

And people wonder why the US is going down the drain.
