These people try to make everything black and white even when they are not. Similarly, liberals try to make everything have a million shades of gray between the right and wrong. I believe I previously pointed out that this is one of the fundamental differences, as I see it, between liberals and conservatives. Conservatives tend to identify wrong and stay way far away from it, while liberals tend to identify wrong and start figuring out how to move RIGHT UP TO THE LINE, perhaps without crossing over. I've seen it in action so, so, many times. Liberals bitching about Reagan's tax cuts ("for the wealthy"), then wanting to cheat on their tax returns so they aren't taxed on their half million in income. If liberals could clearly distinguish between right and wrong, MOST of my complaint with them would be gone (although I STILL couldn't ignore the fiscal irresponsibility!).

Hey Ted, regarding NVDA. As you can guess, I'm trying again with my short-term speculation on that stock. But lurking on the Mod thread, I noticed your discussion of nVidia and its relationship with Microsoft. I'm wondering why you think nVidia isn't making the smartest decisions in its renegotiations with Microsoft. To me, it sounds like Microsoft is the one trying to get something for nothing out of nVidia, and nVidia is the one being backed into a corner. Typical of Microsoft, especially considering that only Microsoft makes money from XBox software licenses. In light of this, I don't blame nVidia for wanting to resist Microsoft. Sure, "resistance is futile," but what are the alternatives? Tenchusatsu
