Given the chance to use 100 XP licenses (FOR FREE) by turning back the clock on your computer would you do it?
(LA unified school district lawsuit for MULTI millions - Notwithstanding)
Have you ever felt cheated by a Mr softy upgrade.
Have you ever had to buy duplicate pieces of the same 500 dollar software because of glitch in the upgrade process.
(WAs that software ever made by Microsoft?)
Have you ever had to buy new equipment because legacy stuff wasn't supported.
Have you ever been a little frustrated by that.
(Have you ever spent hours and days searching for drivers that didn't exist - or finding them and trying to figure out where the heck to throw those drivers)
Has the mindset of the world changed recently.
Are we willing to blow up innocent women and children who have no food and water.
Are we able to justify that in our own mind.
Are we able to rationailize that in our own mind.
(Does Mr Bush Coach us in that regard, constantly)
Do we have judges and jurys to the universe.
Do we have people who who do really bad things.
(Damaging things to other people but they sit their and judge us.)
Do they project their pain and guilt on us through judgement.
Has the world changed recently.
What is right and what is wrong any more.
Who gets to decide.
Where do we draw the line.
If blowing up a building with a truck full of explosives is an act of terrorism.
But blowing up that same building from 30 thousand feet with an F-16 is an act of humanitarian aide.
Now which is really worse.
Stealing 100 licenses by turning back the clock on our computer.
Or being judged by a guy who mutilates womens' sex organs.
I ask myself.
In a moment of pain.
Have we all become pretty good at rationalizing recently.
Projecting our own guilt on to judging other people.
Is it just a little too hard to look in the mirror sometimes.
Is that just too painful.
Given the knowledge that your keystrokes are being recorded.
Given the knowledge that the badtrans worms is sending your passowrds out to 13 ISP's to be advertised to the FBI.
Maybe sold on the BLACK MARKET.
Who even knows any more.
given all that.
Who gets to decide what is right and wrong.
Given the knowledge that wall street is run by bunch of collusive guys moving shells around.
given the fact the supply and demand is the biggest myth on wallstreet.
Well where do you draw the line..
If two wrongs make an airplane.
Can i rationalize it.
