Who is to blame?

Sorry, I'm Monotheist, and don't have any plans to change. Maybe if I pray hard enough, God will strike bill gates down with lightning. I would love to become a Bob, but unfortuneately I'm alergic to hampsters. LOL :) Sorry, but I like my ability to think for myself, that's kinda whats keeping me from joining those dumb people I was talking about. But I'll will say something- I am Bob:) lol. Anyway, if we stopped thinking, like you cult of Bob says to do, wouldn't that make it easier for Bill to take over?

You could always join the Church of the SubGenius and become a follower of J.R. "Bob" Dobbs Jr.

We would kill bill gates for he is not Bob.

Yeah, but it's the thinking thing that bothers me, sure, it causes wars and death, but it is also what gives us the technology around us. Actually the problems are caused by people who suddenly stop thinking. Like the president, he uses his head to get into office, and when he gets there, he screws up. Now I know that he was a moron to begin with, but his plan wasn't completely thought out. Here is a question I have for you though, sure, the cult of bob would discriminate against all that aren't Bobs, and we would Kill Gates, but what if he became a Bob, then the biggest Monoply would still have power, and the Bob's would be helpless to stop it. Because they couldn't think for themselves, and, they would all be stuffed on hampsters. There are a few flaws to the plan. That's the problem with utopian societies, when the plan is written down on paper, it looks good. Like Communism, but there is always someone around, or something that screws it up. Take Russia, that was supposed to be a Utopian society, but Stalin ended up killing more people from starvation than Hitler did during the Holocost. The fact is that Utopias don't exist, not yet anyway. Maybe, someday, society can do something to remove all the corruption it has caused on itself. Killing off evil corporation owners like Bill Gates would help too.

system it wanted for the new computer, then code-named
"Acorn." They wanted CP/M, a product of Gary Kildall's Digital Research, of Pacific Grove, California. But when IBM
first approached Digital Research, the company's founder
Gary Kildall was out of the office for the day. In his absence, Kildall's wife and business associates were
reluctant to sign the stringent IBM nondisclosure agreement.
The IBM representatives left the Digital Research offices without even divulging the purpose of their visit.

Luck indeed! Gary Kildall and/or his wife and associates unleashed a never ending chain of events. I wonder why they didn't just beg IBM that they would be making a huge mistake to go with anyone else, and that Gary Kildall would contact them back ASAP. Dammit, they coulda saved that day.
