Re: " If you really believed in free market-forces" The Chinese government, the U.S. government, the oil cartel and even MSFT among others in their individual quests to rise to the top and control market-forces for themselves are what contribute to free market-forces! That's why it's the only thing that will work. It is not what anyone creates, it is what is created by everyone trying to create their strengths and powers. It is a natural by-product of greed, fear, hunger, lust, desire and other human traits. All mixed together no one wins or loses but everyone has the opportunity to gain from each other's faults and successes. It is the highest form of teaching available to human beings. Every conceivable desire is used to maneuver one to their true destiny. TTOSBT

Norm, I was just kidding about the one world gov. stuff. I apologize if my post came off as an attack. I was just pointing out something that I see as ironic. Where is the emasculation again? I don't care if MS is broken up into 20 pieces. I'm more worried about the restrictions on business. If the government is going to oversee every new project or every new market MS chooses to enter, that will be the death of MS. Some might see this a good thing. I don't. Tom
