I know TimbaBear has been long AAPL for awhile. Timba - what is your viewpoint? Thanks.

Well, my opinion on Al Gore is that I voted for him and would again. IMO under him 9/11 wouldn't have happened and we wouldn't have conquered two countries in two years and be going after three more: Syria, Iran and North Korea (at least). I think all the top people in this administration should be up on charges of negligent homicide for the 3000+ deaths they allowed to occur on 9/11. Under any other administration would the answer: "Well the CIA didn't talk to the FBI, and the FBI didn't talk to the CIA" been acceptable for all those deaths? After all, who appointed the heads of those agencies? Oh yeah, that's right, it's somebody else's fault, not us! (Why not Clinton? He's been a good one to blame all the bad stuff on, after all, it's Clinton's recession isn't it? Yeah, let's blame him!) Happened on whose watch? Sorry for pricking a hole in the testosterone levels, but I didn't start the political discussion on the "value" thread.

As far as AAPL's bid for Vivendi's music business, I don't have an opinion yet, I don't know enough about the valuation, the gameplan, or anything other than what I've seen as brief headlines. I hope whatever happens, AAPL includes more value for the shareholder than they have in the past few years, but I suspect that won't happen.

OT: My apologies to the thread.

I should have learned by now to keep my opinions to myself. I apologize for bringing up the political subject. To those that emailed me regarding Timba's response to my Apple post, I agree with you. I, too, knew a few that died on September 11.

I do, however, believe I have an obligation not to bring up political issues on this thread. Whatever may have been said by others, it may not have occurred if I had not brought up the political subject.
