That's called knowledge.

Again, no points addressed. :)

It now appears you're joining threads just to start a flame war or troll for a knee-jerk response. I'm guessing you're not leading a half of a life of disappointment, it must be up near the full level.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,4124036 Wed, 14 Aug 2002 01:58:24 EDT Re: Microsoft learns how the game is played... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,4123975 items : Do you personally care how much your neighbor or co-worker makes? If I did I'd be leading a half of a life full of disappointment. I sure as hell could care less and have never had a stomach ulcer as a result. Are you Mr. Gates's personal accountant? Why not be concerned with the high rate of taxation on all Americans in every way possible, not just you or Bill?

As for this fund, you'd no doubt be telling Gates that he's too greedy if he didn't give the money away anyway. So what's he supposed to do? Give it to you by certified funds?

Also as a fellow American entrusted with the right to vote, you'll want to make sure you actually read up on candidates and who they choose to accept money from before pulling the lever. The FEC releases campaign contribution numbers. Use this accordingly. There are numerous websites that list who gives what to whom. The govt sure as hell better stay out of who I can give to and how much. That's why we have that pesky 1st amendment.

BTW, I run Linux and MacOS. So don't tell me there's no choice out there other than MS. This monopoly double speak business is a joke. This thread has now been assigned grenade status.

They've now learned how the system works for big $$$ and how to get what you want while preserving a thin veneer of legitimacy.

Our tax system is such a joke. I'll bet 99.9% of the people reading this paid more (as a % of income) in taxes last year then Mr. Gates.

Ah, well. I really don't mind if Mr. Gates wants to buy up other company stock, but when it's done in dark backrooms with an eye to buying up politicians and legislative agendas, well, that's where I get pissed. We have precious little representation of the "regular joe" in Washington D.C. as it is. Now M$ is coming onto the scene.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,4122255 Tue, 13 Aug 2002 22:35:08 EDT
