Lieutenant Colonel David Grossman is a fucking mental midget who wasn't happy with his Army retirment benefits. So since he clearly had no real skills or talents (or intelligence), he decided to make the natural choice of going on a crusade. Good choice if you have shit for brains. I guess we need these kinds of people to make us laugh. Expect to see him on Springer in a transexual love triangle when his fifteen minutes of fame are up.
My point was this. In the old days, you did something stupid and you died, or at least suffered consequences. Survival of the fittest applied to humans (aka Social Darwinism). In the USA today not only do we not suffer consequences for our studitiy, but now we actually profit from it. Everything is so damn centered around safety, and protecting people from themselves it's sick. For example, my local news did a special the other night on the dangers of sliding electronic doors in stores. "Are they safe???" It's one thing if the doors really were much of a menace (ie randomly shutting on people rather abruptly). But that's not what they were demonstrating. They were demonstrating standing right in between the doors and attempting to get them to close upon themselves!
It used to be something like, "Play with fire, and you shall get burned." Johnny Cochran has now bastardized that into "Play with fire, and you shall get paid. They shouldn't have sold you those matches and gasoline. That's not safe."
We have too much time, and too many lawyers in the USA.
Heh...let's face it. Napster is for piracy, and piracy only. Was designed that way from the ground up. There _could_ be a legal use for it, but NOBODY uses it that way. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great but I am honest enough to say that I recognize that it serves one purpose and one purpose only. Napster is a brilliant "gray area" idea, and could possibly be defended very well in court provided they have the cash. However, let's not lie to ourselves here about it's purpose.

To me it seems as if Corel does everything, except actually work on their software. Just something I noticed.

We need to just exterminate this guy! Darwin where are you now? We need you. I'm not even going to say anything other than this guy needs to die.
