Logan’s message struck me too as very strong.

Do you mind that you might shock people that on the side as you apparently are ?

While I dislike DRM’s, was anti-OOXML (and still is despite its adoption by ISO) and didn’t vote for Mr Sarkosy, I cannot agree with your words, in particular this:

> “French people, that elected this Womanizer, Adulterer and Fascist are for > the most fascist and coward: REMEMBER VICHY.”

I know many people, some of them are friends of mine, who voted for Mr Sarkosy and are not fascists nor cowards.

Vichy is France’s shame and is still an open wound in our collective mind. Any nation all over the world have the same kind of wound that words can reactivate. Such words can mask the overall meaning of the text they appear in.

With such words you may make ennemies (not only to yourself but also to the cause you are trying to serve) of people that could have otherwise embraced your ideas.

Always remember that some words have such emotional power that it may completely destroy the meaning of what you intend to say.

I sincerely do think that your post does more damage to rather than it serves the cause you are willing to defend. Particularly in France.

From what I’ve heard, it is true that France would have voted to “disapprove” if not for Sarkozy’s intervention. A politician can hardly be more corporate friendly than Sarkozy. They don’t call him “Sarkozy l’américain” for nothing. If you haven’t noticed, Sarkozy’s popularity in France has declined sharply in recent times. You don’t need to shout to make your point.

French people, that elected this Womanizer, Adulterer and Fascist are for the most fascist and coward: REMEMBER VICHY.

If this idiot and the like are the future of politics in Europe then Europe’s future is bleak…

It’s very cynical of EU to say to American search engines to stop spying on their users and then turn around and let France do the same. Hypocrites!

Remember ALL European countries voted in FAVOR of OOXML. They’re easily corrupted and care very little about FREEDOM, PRIVACY, DEMOCRACY.

European Union and it’s institutions are a never ending and filthy hole of corruption, constantly moralizing on other countries behaviour but never looking at their own.

As for Kroes, if you think that what they’ve done to Microsoft has anything to do with Anti-Trust; Anti-Monopoly; Fair Competition and the Rule of Law you’re mistaken. It has everything to do with money.

The more people notice the EU, the more it stinks.

The move to disrespect the rule of law; privacy and due process. The move to legalize SOFTWARE PATENTS; BUSINESS PATENTS. The move to tax every media (CDs; DVDs; HDDs; Pen/Flash Drives; Portable Audio Players) just because they can hold music is just another violation of process.

To those that counterpoint EU’s behaviour to the USA’s don’t really know how bad the situation in Europe is right now and how worse it will become in the coming months when Sarkozy and his fascist cronies climb to power…

Sarkozy climb to power will be remembered the same way has Hitler’s…

You’ll see. Remember my words!
