I assume the question by Ed "[The question is, will these guys realize they've been had? - Ed]" refers to the politicians being had by M$'s phony arguments. Call me paranoid, but I really doubt the pols are "being had". I think they have their reason$ to $upport Micro$oft in these matter$. Surely there will be benefit$ down the road for them due to their role as M$ $ockpuppet. With all the billions at stake in the "format wars" over the Office monopoly, M$ can certainly afford, with pocket change, to do some hardcore lobbying and spread around campaign contributions (carefully laundered, of course). The question is not am I paranoid, but am I paranoid enough? |

The question is not am I paranoid, but am I paranoid enough? Probably not. If the top politicians/media magnates/industrialists aren't in a silly special little club where they plot to take over the world I'd be very surprised. Even sociopaths with visions of global domination need a little "peer affirmation". |

I recently spoke at one of the oldest and largest User Groups in Texas. One articulate fellow remarked, "Let's face it, this is wide spread corruption and like in a third world country nobody will do anything about it." To get the picture, you have to imagine a multi-armed, multi-legged creature grabbing food and things and stuffing its mouth as fast as it can. Sorta like a giant Jabba the Hut on steroids. One arm reaches out and snap, there goes Massachusetts. |
