Anti Trust and such historical references

There was something of a political war back during the robber baron era in the United States.  One of the many things that arose from it was the Sherman Anti-Trust Act.

I think such an act was in keeping with what the Framers of the Constitution intended.  The Framers were suspicious of MOBS, which is what a combination of the super rich can be as well as an army of plebes.  Either way is bad because it overwhelms the individual.  I think the Framers intended that the individual have the utmost of freedom, while the MOBS were to be constrained.  The government too, is a mob.  The bigger it is, the more evil it is.  Governments should therefore be constrained and SMALL.  If governments are to be constrained and small, so must also be the corporations.

There was an antitrust suit against Microsoft in the nineties.  It wasn't very successful.  Too bad about that.  If there was one organization that should have been broken up, it was Microsoft.

WHY!!!!

Didn't Microsoft give us this great new computer world that we have now?  No.  All he did was take somebody else's ideas and made them his own.  His claims to innovation were a lot of horse pooh.

The Windows operating system leaves a lot to be desired.  They made it that way on purpose, I suspect.  The reason was to be able to sell a lot more software that was necessary in order to keep it secure.  But it was insecure in the first place BY DESIGN.  That tells you a lot about the kind of thinking that goes on in a place like Microsoft.

We need to be wary of big corporations like Microsoft.  However, the answer is NOT to make the government BIGGER.  It isn't necessary to make the government bigger in order to make it effective.  For it to be effective, you have to make it HONEST.

When you destroy the moral basis of the nation through such things as abortion and homosexuality, which the corporations support for some reason, you inevitably make the entire culture CORRUPT.  That is the problem we are dealing with.  If we can't get a handle on this, we are done.
