Oh please! If people use this software and it makes their day a little easier? Then they should damned well be able to organize and tell the company they want it kept. Its a damned shame Steve Ballmer doesn't listen to anything said other than "Just copy Apple" or I'd be coming up with one asking that Win 8 be thrown in the "do over" bin along with Vista and bringing back Win 7 until they could get an OS out the door that wasn't afflicted with an identity disorder.

Besides the thing is already so far left I wouldn't be surprised if many take a look at how leftist the petitions lean and go "fuck this noise" and walk away. Hell what was the FIRST petition it showed me after I signed for Reader? Give Obama, the guy who refused to arrest his AG for what several of the feds CLEARLY SAID was a "false flag op" to take away our second amendment rights after they found the Mexicans were buying USSR and not USA guns, give that clown a MANDATE to pass tougher gun laws? WHAT THE FUCK PEOPLE you have the commander in chief CAUGHT RED HANDED pulling a fucking false flag that got Americans MURDERED and you want to give him MORE power? Are you fucking stoned or just retarded? That would be like saying in 86 "Sure George there was no WMDs and all that yellowcake stuff was bullshit, but hey, you wanna take Iran and Syria while you are it that's okay because gosh darn it we LIKE you".

The other that pissed me off was one designed to "tell off" the NRA...for offering the ONLY proposal that would have had a shot of changing the outcome of Sandy Hook...Again is the left stoned or just stupid? "Tougher gun laws" wouldn't have done shit because...now hold onto your seats, I'm gonna hit you with some high concept here....CRIMINALS DON'T OBEY GUN LAWS STUPID which is why we fucking call them criminals in the first place! The Sandy Hook guns were STOLEN from a woman with NO record, so tougher gun laws would have done fucking nothing! Putting an armed guard, which Obama's kids get for free BTW, would have meant the nut would have to get through and kill dead a trained security officer, probably ex-cop, before he could do any attacks. Its common sense folks, if you want to protect something you put a fucking armed guard between the bad guys and the something, yet because Obama...again remember Fast & Furious, doesn't like it, while not getting rid of his own kids guards BTW, we are supposed to be...what MAD at the NRA for posting a common fucking sense answer to a problem that doesn't score political points? WHAT THE FUCK?

Sorry about the rant folks, but as a card carrying socialist seeing the left hijacked by a bunch that makes PETA and their "sea kittens" campaign look sane? Really pisses me off. I'm guessing this is how the fiscal conservatives felt when the neocons ran them out the tent, that the nuthouse had been taken over by the batshit. I mean maybe I'm fucking weird or something but after Nixon I was of the opinion if you caught the POTUS breaking the fucking law you should BUST HIS ASS no matter WHAT party he belonged to, yet the same ones that wanted to impeach Dubya? Not one word about fast and furious, you can hear crickets chirping...that's just FUCKED UP folks, totally fucked up.
