+# List of ideas for Tal to work on
+
+##Start with: "Analogies to understand the importance of user freedom (a car 
that you 
+can't open the hood, etc)"
+
+This one is awesome, and could be its own post.
+
+* or change a tire
+* or even paint it
+
+A bike where you can't fix a flat is great too, to emphasize how simple 
+and rudimentary some of this could be.
+
+Other analogies:
+
+* "a law that you aren't allowed to read the text of"
+* "a news story you aren't allowed to print"
+* "science that students aren't allowed to study"
+
+###When we say free software,  what exactly do we mean (free as in beer vs. 
+free as in freedom, four freedoms)?
+
+
+
+
+###I have a system that works, why should I care if it's free?
+
+###Software patents, copyright 101
+
+Sounds good.  Something that can capture the dismaying quality of 
+software patents: that even when you *do* all the programming yourself, 
+you still aren't allowed to share it if you stumble on a patented idea 
+(when tons of the most basic ideas have already been patented).
+
+
+###How can you make money with free software?
+
+###A chart with non-free software listed next to free alternatives
+
+Definitely.  A friend made this: http://getthefreeversion.com/
+
+Emphasize freedom over cost, obviously and don't say "open source"... 
+but the use of icons and simplicity could be a good model.
+
+
+###What is an operating system, and what difference does it make if it is free?
+
