James, >>You've sure imprinted on the power of government to manage our economy. Free enterprise must be controlled. Any thoughts on how free-enterprise is going to pay off the $4 trillion in public debt that they have received so far? Where would the stock market be if the Feds hadn't bailed out those rich Savings and Loans capitalists for the tune of $500 Billion? Corporate America will never get rid of the hand that feeds it...or saves its ass with cheap loans to cover bad decisions. On the humorous side, the sale of Guidance System Technology to China has made money for me the last three years so I can appreciate the non-involvement aspect of government in economics that everyone hopes for. Microsoft bought season-tickets to the anti-trust game and the injunction was just the coin-toss at the exhibition game. Cheers, Norm

>>>You've sure imprinted on the power of government<<< You misunderstand the term imprinted. >>>Sounds like Peking Duck to me.<<< Peking is the capital of the conservatives favorite country these days, MSFTs too. As a democratic activist, I certainly would be somewhat less welcome there than you and your kind, my strongman-loving friend. >>>Free enterprise must be controlled. Quack. Success must be punished. <<< Gee whiz. I've been in business since I was 12. Doesn't that count toward a love of free enterprise? Maybe not in the dimly lit minds of those who worship big companies. In your cargo cult world any opposition must be met with lame, powerless, old-style McCarthyite accusations. You don't get that your attacks aren't even on subjects that can really arouse anyone anymore. You really are a man of your times - the fifties. Ciao, old man. Chaz
