Good points...it still boggles my brain that the Senators can't seem to 
get it throught their heads the thought that if Intel spends more on R&D 
than Hollywood takes in as revenues, then MAYBE you might want to listen 
to them before smarmy Jack Valenti. Add to that IBM, Compaq, Microsoft, 
and a $600B Telecommunications agency and start to think of the "Goose 
that laid the golden egg"

bingo.

there's a reason I like the term so much. there's also one more thing
they have in commong: total disregard of the interests of other people.
their world revolves around themselves, nothing else.
