: You're a Democrat, aren't you? ... and a liberal(read: socialist) ... and you're also green, right?.. Envy is a miserable emotion, and Bill Gates? ... `likeable guy, that is if he didn't have all that money, you'd probably like him.

: Monopoly?...naw, just a lot of hard work and success ... stuff I bet you teach your children (or your dad tried to teach you), How'd you like one of them to be successful(or how'd you like to be), and then have "The government" step in and ... "Knock them(you) down a peg or two"

: It's a sad day when we trash those that are successful and support the losers ... or, have "the government" control the whole thing ... gee, wouldn't that BE ... Socialism?

Wow! What a response! Why on earth does MS [read Bill Gates] elicit such
strong opinions. All the more reason to reign him before he morphes
into God - or worse.

I have nothing personal against him or free enterprise but his buisness practices
left a LOT to be desired. I [and many others] however, are glad to note that
he obviously agrees with us and decided to relent and give other people a chance.

I think this speaks volumes about the character of the man behind the enterprise.

Good luck MS [& HP & Netscape & Gateway, etc, etc]

P.S. If I was a US citizen I would vote Republican every time [believe it].
