Justice fails in Microsoft case | |
|

Microsoft's gamble to break the law to fend off competition paid huge dividends. Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly's decision Friday permits Microsoft to repeat illegal acts and lets it retain all of the fruits of its illegal behavior. The way is now paved for a Microsoft-owned Internet. Bill Gates has already said he plans to use Windows to dispose of the next threat (Internet-based services) in the same way Windows eliminated the browser threat. Microsoft will continue to add proprietary extensions to the browser that require the Internet-based technologies to adopt and use Microsoft's exclusive technology. Gates and company essentially paid no price for breaking the law and have already announced that they will use the same tactics to gain control of the Internet. Don't say we weren't fairly warned. | ||

PeterTHX - "It's also easy to have a surplus when you have RECORD TAX REVENUE from a good economy. "
Hey, you're starting to learn! Good for you. Now why are you so against balanced budgets? "You mean someone TOOK THE FALL. Duh. You'd have to be blind not to see that one. " Oh, you mean I have to agree with Goebbels, and believe that big fat lie you keep pushing on us? "And her husband? If she had nothing to hide she should have been GLAD to testify." Uhh, I don't think you quite get the point. They wanted her to make up dirt about Clinton. She refused... they threw her in jail. That's how Whitewater worked, didn't you know? The star witness David Hale was paid by the Republican party to testify. "Starr dropped the case because he knew he couldn't win." Well duh... Because there was no evidence. Christ, Starr turned it into a political witchhunt when there was nothing there and started going down half a dozen paths at once. Indepdent prosecutor my ass, that bastard was buddies had aspirations to be appointed to the SCOTUS. He was sucking up to the GOP as much as he could. Not surprising since he's buddies with Ted Olsen(another bastion of right-wing lack of ethics). |

baarod - I agree. The Republicans lack morality and ethics and the Democrats lack inspiration and motivation.
I thought we had something going with our independence party here, but Ventura squandered whatever credibility he had, especially this past week. BobSmith - It wouldn't help. I think I'm probably just going to distance myself off the internet. It's unfortunately been overrun by morons who think that anonymously posting insults and accusations is acceptable behavior. When it's not right-wing morons it's anti-Microsoft morons who follow the same pattern. Their goal is to make life so vile and putrid that people stop dissenting. Maybe they're right. I had to stop watching C-Span back in the mid 90's because of how overwhelming the hatred was of the callers. |

I love C-SPAN, but I only watch the congressional sessions. I think I'm thinking of C-SPAN, I've been mostly TV free for quite a while. The last time I watched C-SPAN was during the impeachment hearings in '98.
I keep saying that I'll back off of sites like this (when there are users like mfhm around), but so far I haven't done too good a job of it. I guess we'll see what the future holds. |

| BTW, blue, I don't think i agree with you at all with respect to President Clinton, but I respect your right to have and voice your opinion. I also don't feel like arguing about him. ;-) |

| Kudos to you, Peter. You're a gentleman. |

Seems the GOP won the day, blue. I hope the next two years aren't too bad for you.
Why are the Republicans the GOP when the Democrats are the older party? |

| I just gave USA Today a piece of my mind. Thanks, Skarsnik, for the link. |

| That was a low blow, Cal. Ouch! |

PeterTHX - No, repeating the same old lies over and over again is not going to dissuade me.
I still think the Republican party could win an awful lot of support if they'd apologize for the way they threw ethics to the wind to pursue Clinton. This post was edited by sodablue on Wednesday, November 06, 2002 at 11:09. |

BobSmith - No, I have to definately distance myself from these sites, as the use of my time is counter-productive.
Yesterday's election was really odd. The GOP didn't really win anything. The candidates who won over Democrats did so by distancing themselves from the President and taking on the more moderate issues of the Democrats. For instance Coleman here in Minnesota claimed to not support drilling in ANWR, and supported free-trade(unlike the President). He also repeated said he would tell the President he didn't agree with him when questioned on GOP platform issues. Really what won the day was big money. It was amazing how much money was sunk into this campaign. We were innundated with attack ads on television, in our mail and automated phone calls. Now that campaign finance reform takes hold, it'll be curious to see how that changes in 2004. Still it's encouraging to see the Republican party move away from socially conservative issues. Phil Gramm and Dick Armey were asked to resign from their offices. Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond are now out of their offices. One does have to wonder, though, how this will make mhfm feel? |
