This is typical of someone that cannot afford an SUV. Mine cost quite a bit, but to me, it represents a higher measure of safety for my family
Two 6" pipes full of concrete on the front of my pickup represent a higher measure of safety for me, but they could easily kill someone in a car that I run over. There has to be a line somewhere betwene personal safety and the safety of the public as a whole. Can we afford to have a class system in which only the rich can afford to be safe?

"Smart Tags will allow the Internet to go to the next level where people will be able to find things easily and make their time on the Net more productive."
And what things might they find more easily? What MS wants them to find perhaps? It is not as if there were a search engine involved here. Specific words as dictated by MS become links to somewhere their author did not intend for them to go. On a completely diferent note, how much different is this from tv broadcasters removing the adds in stadiums and replacing them with their own content. Didn't they get sued for that?
