re:*out of control* government...

I hate to say this, but the feds are indeed out of control.
Did you see today's news about the court decision which will prevent AT&T from owning "too many" cable stations?

Your government, under the current Administration, thinks it knows better than consumers (who vote with their money) how many choices they should have as to media viewing material, how many telephone companies they should have to choose from for their long-distance and Internet service, whether they should get with the mainstream and buy MSFT products or abandon standardization and buy other companies' internet browers/office suite programs, even if those programs don't mesh well together and you can't communicate with your clients due to differing computer systems, etc.

I frankly am a bit tired of the long series of efforts by *my* government to decide what I will or will not buy.

I realize other views differ on this subject. Only hope I'm providing even more food for thought than you did, Kevin.
