Have you ever pledged allegiance to the flag?

Of the United States Of America?

Not a word in it about "capitalism".

I didn't find it in the "Bill Of Rights" or the "Constitution Of The United States", either. Have you ever read either or both of them in their entirety?

Did you know that Microsoft violates the Fourth Amendment, sixth, seventh, ninth, and tenth? Probably others, too, if one were to get technical about it. But the fourth one in particular, the origin of their offenses, which says: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Ever heard of Spyware, Rootkits, and Trojans? What do you think it is that Microsoft sneaks onto your computer?

My computer constitutes a part of my "personal effects", and Microsoft has no right to monitor or control it, neither in my house or office. A lame "you must click I AGREE to continue" does NOT supersede the Constitution. Except in your La La Land, I should say. You might as well wipe your behind on it for all the care you exhibit concerning the matter. While you stomp around and rant with your holier than thou attitude.

James Madison proposing Bill of Rights to the House, June 8, 1789, said: ?It will be a desirable thing to extinguish from the bosom of every member of the community any apprehensions, that there are those among his countrymen who wish to deprive them of the liberty for which they valiantly fought and honorably bled.?

At the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin
was asked, ``What have you wrought?'' He answered,
...a Republic, if you can keep it.''

Nary a word about Capitalism, nor Corporations.
