    So I was right - you are an ashamed liberal.

    Who is Bill O'Reilly? A few hundred thousand people watch Fox News - they are hardly the influence you think they are (I don't watch it all). And those that do are mostly converts anyway. If you want the real problem in journalism just look to the Old Grey Hag, from whom the networks, CNN, CNBC and other liberal rags all take their lead.

    How in hell do you propose to enforce size limits?!?

    "ashamed liberal", you seem to be pretty proud of that
    phrase ... FOX is the reason why the red necks made it
    back into the white house. plus the unbelievable willingness
    to get rid of all democratic values as shown by bush,
    baker and many others. call it conservative, i call it
    hypocrites at highest level.

    size is the reason why washington is jeopardized by
    big business. how in hell can you believe that free
    markets and the market share of microsoft can go
    hand in hand? size is a threat. always and everywhere.
    as simple as that.

    If the shoe fits...

    Ratboy is correct.

    What democratic values did Bush get rid of?

    Don't put words in my mouth. And you did not answer my question - how do you propose to limit the size of corporations?

    well, we might differ in our perception of shoes ...

    bush got rid of the initial democratic thought: majority
    rules. but i guess it is not only shoes where our
    perception differs. you probably find the supreme
    court decision in 2000 absolutely normal in an
    established democracy. which in my eyes contradicts
    with being a responsible conservative.

    it is quite easy on the company size. you might have
    realized that there are already such rules. preventing
    monopoly situations. you just have to tighten those
    rules. that is about it. did i finally answer your oh so
    tough question?

    Why do you have so much trouble admitting that you are a liberal?

    Uh, ever heard of the Electoral College? The United States is not a democracy - it is a republic. The sumpreme court simply upheld the constitution. And every recount confirmed Bush won. Gore lost - get over it!

    Now I understand your shame - you are a Daily Kos kook. I guess you took a wrong turn at Albuquerque and ended up on the wrong forum.

    I don't see any monopolies. Your Microsoft example does not hold up. There are many other software developers.

    You never did come across as "a reasonable guy one can have a fun debate with". You ignore my questions and make off the wall blanket statements with no evidential support. Typical liberal...
