As we go through life, each of us are bound to be influenced by any number of people. We often formulate our own ideas by building upon or modifying others thoughts and incantations. The people whose ideas we tend to agree with and build a trust in are often classified as heroes or mentors. There have been a handful of such people throughout my own life that I have held in such regard. Among which, Richard Stallman (without knowing it) has become one such mentor.

For those who do not know who Richard Stallman is, he established the GNU Project as well as the Free Software Foundation. Not only that, he hosts a wealth of ideas for activism of various sorts, most of which, my own beliefs are in accordance with. In short, this guy kicks ass.
