That, of course, seems completely incongruous with Gore's environmental position. Goes to show how jaded one gets with the whole thing. Gore could fly around in an Oxy Pete Grumman jet, and I'd still be voting for him over George W. -JCJ |

silverberg once said that msft's was the 'most profitable business which is legal.' well i think that was an historical anomaly and now we're 'reverting to the norm,' whatever that ends up being.
i still think that, for whatever reason the clinton administration has it in for gates and co.

well, msft deserves what it gets then...
it's fun to see people hold msft up as being today's reardon steel.
many of the employees are libertarian, but there are a scary number of left-wing nuts in that place too.
