For the most part, I agree with your views and accusations on Microsoft and Billy G. Under your 'campaign' you compare the evil and corruptiong between Bill Gates and George Bush. This is what is killing you, because only extreme lefties hate Bush.
Sheez, you're the one who's delusional. Most of the planet hates George W. Bush, the exceptions being extreme right-wingers.
This places you in a very small (but obnoxiously outspoken) segment of the population, and makes people like me just plain ignore you.
Actually, I'm far more outspoken than the average liberal - whom I despise - and not nearly as obnoxious.
This is where I stopped reading your shit:
After that little statement, you have lost my interest. No wonder you can't win an election.
That's the problem with politics. The voting public treats it like a spectator sport. They just sit on their butts and watch the candidates win or lose, later coming forward to present their arrogant analysis of what went wrong.
If you think you can do a better job, show me the way. In the meantime, I'll tell you the real reason I've never been elected: The system is corrupt, far more so than most people realize. The other reason is the the voters are mired in terminal apathy and stupidity.
Take the last presidential election - please. How do you think the average voter prepared for it? I'll tell you how.
They sat on their butts for FOUR YEARS waiting for a chance to vote Bush out of office. In the meantime, they ignored other national, state and local elections. They should have rioted in the streets when corporate America replaced Howard Dean with that god damn traitor, John Kerry. But they didn't. Some didn't even vote in the primary election. They just waited to vote for a handful of candidates in November's general election.
Of course, it was too late by then, because there was nothing to choose from - any decent human beings had long since been ferreted out by corporate operatives. Ask me to tell you about my last televised appearance some day.
This is all I can do, and I beleive it is a great start. We can not instantly drop everything MS...
Never said otherwise. I still have Windows XP.
I do not want to help you. Beyond a doubt, you are a political extremist set against George W Bush because of your ideological views.
I'd wager that 95% of the people on the planet have ideological views that don't mesh with Bush's.
I'm going to lump you in with all the other left-wingers I know and assume you are hypocritical too.
And I'm going to lump you in with all the other morons I've encountered.
I'm not sure how you are getting off with the all Americans are morons angle. In fact, I take offense to that.
Why would that offend you? When I hear other people make the same charge, I say "Right on!" because 1) I know they're speaking the truth, and 2) I know I'm not a moron and therefore am not the target of the attacks. If you feel offended, that suggests that you're an apathetic moron, and my attacks hurt.
I'm not sure that a 'direct assult' on MS will be anything but futile, as their cash reserves and assets are immense.
Blah, blah, blah. You sound just like all the bimbos masquerading as teachers who have told me, "David, it's no use fighting the system!"
The irony is that none of those losers ever TRIED.
If 10,000 people start slinging mud at M$ and Bill Gates both, promoting Firefox and running for office on an anti-Microsoft platform, what's Bill Gates going to do about it?
I feel that they know of the power of the impending Linux revolution...
Gee, do ya think? You sound like a real tactical genius.
I do not mind their existence in other markets. I am only concerned with their OS/Application base.
Now you sound like all the Linux geeks. Well, I DO care about things besides operating systems - and not just "other markets." I care about Bill Gates' exploitation of public schools. I care about his threat to national security and the menace he poses to the Internet. I'm pissed off that Bill Gates wants to saddle us with more taxes, which are obviously going to be funneled into his pockets in one way or another.
That base is steadily losing ground. As far as I am concerned, the mission is succeeding. Consumers, Businesses and Governments alike are converting away from the Win32 core frame. This is good.
But it isn't good enough. It's too little, too slowly - and possibly too late. Believing that Bill Gates' goose has already been cooked is delusional and dangerous.
