Quote from Robert Pirsig (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance):

   It's not the "nice" guy who brings about real social change.  
   "Nice" guys look nice because they're conforming.  It's the 
   "bad" guys, who only look nice a hundred years later, that 
   are the real Dynamic force in social evolution.  

Here is a picture Stallman took when he visited Arizona during 
October 2001.  He didn't want the picture because I was going 
to copy the image from my camera to a Windows machine.
