The connection is obvious. In fact there's more than one!

Free software -> Richard Stallman -> Beards -> Hippie movements -> Drugs -> Opiates

Free software -> Saint IGNUcius -> Religious figures -> Bill Gates ->
The Gates Foundation -> Drugs -> Opiates

Drugs -> North Korea -> Communism -> Ludicrous governmental monopolies -> Patents

And with a little lateral thinking, you can make a ring:

Opiates -> Pharmaceuticals -> Patents -> Patents on fonts -> No patents on
fonts -> Donald Knuth -> The reinvention of wheels -> Emacs -> Richard
Stallman -> Free software

Anyone got any more?

inhaled steroids, brain operating oddly.)
