No thanks.

Id rather never install something the government shipped "here ya go!"

And I think you're an idiot for suggesting that it would be okay

EDIT: because your ADHD is out of control:

what I meant

"I don't want the government to selectively fund ANY of my software".

What you heard:

he called the UK idiots, the nerve ..

    Lol they meant the government should use FOSS, which would also be FOSS, so you'd be able to audit it and all even if you wanted to use their software (which you wouldn't need to unless you worked for the government)
