JFD.... >>Fred: Do you own any MSFT stock? Most, if not all, of your postings are incoherent just as they were at NXTL. I suppose you feel the lack of logical thought and informative input is made up by the posturing of being a lover of mankind and ending your diatribes with "peace". As my kids would say I'm not feelin' it. JFD>> I do not own any MSFT stock. I understand how incoherent this stuff can be. Logical thought does nothing. It looks pretty and neat, but it just sits there. It's stuck. For logic that's presented to "get" or prove a point is pure ego - ie. the antithesis of the passion, feeling and truth that seeks to help, give and grow. Ego lacks energy for, by definition, and too often it's presented in a way which takes energy. Thanks to pure logic and reason we have all these rules, laws, regulations and bureaucracy. As a pure Constitutional Capitalist, do you support this crap? If so, why?? If you live your life based on an ego fed by pure logic and reason, life tends to becomes hard work. Period. I'm not sharing this stuff for others to "get it". The audience is for those who already "get it" who may have any connection whatsoever with MSFT. MSFT is a huge target. And our federal govt. which "gets" the old model better than Gates and Balmer wants "their" piece of this "New" pie. Beyond proving a point, I don't think Govt. should be in any position to claim/control ANY piece to this "New" pie. For the net can't/shouldn't be controlled. Big difference between can't and shouldn't. If MSFT and our federal govt. corrupt each other it will do a great injustice to the growth and development of this energy and freedom which is spreading worldwide right now. Thanks to the net, dams are breaking up all over the world. But our privacy is at stake. Again, if you haven't "got it" before John, you probably won't "get it" now or in the future. It's up to you. And sorry.....but PEACE. GO!!
