My opinion
We all have choices to make. I will respect yours about the military etc. From that point we will continue to disgree.

"*I* sign my pay check because *I* only work for companies who's ethics are in line with my own."

Ummm no. You collect a paycheck from a company that is willing to hire you for the skills you offer.

Do you really know that the company that signs your paycheck agrees with your ethics? Do you scan their contracts to make sure that those contracts match your ethics? Companies are in the business to make money and go where the emerging markets are. Oh but your ethics would preclude that from happening.

You bemoan Microsoft's decision to do business in China. What would you have them do? How about McDonalds or KFC? Where is your rant against them? Do you insure that every consumer item you buy, that comapany meets with your ethics? I'd bet not.

Nope the bottom lione is all you wanna do is RANT against Microsoft. Thin real thin.
