  As Saint Bill Hicks said: "The United States of Advertising"
  
  It's all about money, folks, morals, values, evolution, progress, quality software, innovation, nothing compares to money for most people in the land of the frSTUPIDee.
  
  By Microsoft still existing in one form, the convicted monopoly that it is, is proof among many other cases where the DOJ in the US is a failure. The country is lost, even voting changes nothing as the voting machines themselves are black boxes and subject to TEMPEST and other problems. It's a joke, wake up folks! It's time to leave the country peacefully and either join a less money hungry nation or form a new nation. Give up on change from within, it's just not possible anymore, the system is too corrupt. Gates himself is likely to end up in political office eventually, the whole country is in bed (or will be) with Microsoft.

  Gates doesn't need to be in office. Like Lessig, he's more effective from the outside. But while Lessig fights corruption, Gates fights for the wealth of the company he co-founded at all costs (just watch the recent immigration kerkuffle).
