Have hope my brother

Enron, Worldcom, Exxon, and Arther Andersen are all used as examples of what has gone wrong recently in America. Politicians in the USA now refer to multi-national big business as the source of evil in polite society.

For example, the recent bridge collapse over the Mississippi is likely owing to multi-national big business. The monarchies (read Saudi Arabia) and robber Barrons, who invest in multi national big businesses, do not care about infrastructure in America because they live in Europe, or will retire in Europe.

Hence they pressure corporate executives (like the president of Sprint) to find tax loop holes and lobby for special treatment or support inferior product that is use to rip off consumers. When the corporate officers put their customers, employees and country above maximum profit legal or otherwise, they are removed. Worst of all is that the out of country investors encourage the corruption of legitimate government because they do not care about the values of the nation.

Microsoft is a multi-national big business and the war on terror is a war between those protecting civil rights and the multi national big businesses. It is of course a world wide war.

America, because of Enron and Worldcom and Exxon, is far beyond Europe in creating a truly free market and society. I do not subscribe to the notion that human beings can be perfected. But we strive anyway. By the way Arthur Andersen was absolved.

The reason Microsoft is at the forefront of this war is because of the World Trade Organization police riots in Seattle. Bill Gates was co-chair of the WTO meeting and anarchists were successful in alerting the US and world about the company when they provoked the police to riot. Microsoft has become a test case IMO, for success in the war on terror. Jackson is the ultimate hero. He is a US patriot big time. My sadness is that while Microsoft may be improving in the USA, it clearly is taking its traditional wrong ways out of country. So the success Jackson has had in the USA is just pushing the problem to other nations.
