I offered Hahn's article because he's clearly a bright person who examined the the same information as you and came to a different conclusion, not because of his association with Brookings. I really don't know anything about them, but your comments caused me to check out the CVs of the folks you dismissed as whores. Most of them appear to be qualified to offer informed and even scholarly opinions. But I'm sure you are , too.

btw, I didn't find anything about Exxon's oil spill on their site, but I'm sure you're right ;-).

Dave: You remind me of the 70's flower child who hated everything entrepreneurial and anything that had the whiff of capitalism. Yet they felt very content spending their lives in the comfort and freedom of that system. A word to the wise "radical chic'" is dead- it went out with the black panthers although it may have found a home in Afghanistan under the label " radical sheik". Your rhetoric reeks of envy and disappointment. If you are so disenchanted by MSFT products use Linux/Mac or Sun and content yourself with that. All of your arguments sound like sour grapes and there is very little unhysterical logic in them which as the bard would say "betrayeth thee". The closest thing to your rantings that I can remember in recent history is Judge Jackson's portrayal of the Queen of Hearts in the trial proceedings. JFD
