Bwahahahaha I just caught this

"A goal of the Web site is to "provide a counterbalance to the pure profit motive that exists," said Polisner, who worked at Oracle for 12 years.

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!! He's joking right? Counter balance to the "pure profit motive". WTF does anyone go into business for but to make profit? Someone PLEASE tell me.

"Honey, I'm going to the office. If I'm lucky we will lose our shirts but maybe our message of the plight of the California Snot Sand Worm in will get out."

And then he goes on to say

"We believe that if we provide a compelling and easy experience and the pricing is reasonably competitive that (the site) will do well."

What a bunch of polica; coprrectness squat. Let us bemoan that peole go to into business for profit only and then talk about pricing. I drove trucks for 18 years and it was not because I freaking enjoyed it or I had some goofy PC message to get out it was for M_O_N_E_Y, the green stuff, paycheck and now I am in another business and I ain't doing it cause of nothing more than "OBSCENE PROFITS." Any tells me any different I got one thing to say to them......

"You lie to your friends and I will lie to mine but let's not lie to each other."

What a bunch of crapppla. I still wish them well and hope they make enough to sell to Micorsoft but don't BS me with this "provide a counterbalance to the pure profit motive." If making profit does not out weigh your other motives you best close shop now and cut your losses.
