I understand your point.

I was just offering a bitcoin spec file for those who wanted it, no 
politics in that post, and was met with resistance I suppose I shouldn't 
have responded to. No rants about the fiat banking system in my original 
post.

Bitcoin building on CentOS without needing an alternate TLS library 
installed is new, so really that is all I wanted to do was provide a 
well written spec file for those interested in it.
