Am I part of the Axis of Evil?

This Murray is the senator of the State where MS is located, right? Then he's just trying to defend a company which brings many jobs and money to the State. I would bet senators of California would disagree, many of MS competitors being located in the Silicon Valley.

If they do violate antitrust regulations they get fined. But this Patty Murray (a woman I think?) seems to like to start a war in the name of the Media Player.

"[Washigton senator] Murray called on the Bush administration to 'engage' the EU in settling the [EU fines MS] case. 'The EU has now directly attacked the authority of the United States and our economy in general,'"After reading this[^], I am considering to wear a helmet and a flak vest while coding. You never know when the airborne cavallry striks. Seriously, Patty Murray is a politician, and as such not to be taken *too* honest. But this statement sounds a little bit over the top, or is that just me? Precisely, what was the authority of the United States in the European Union about? Just the authority of the biggest gun?

Thats why Star Office was first developed in Germany, and then aquired by SUN (Andreas von Bertolsheim, another German). There is a conspiracy going on, as could be clearly proven when Mercedes aquired Chrysler. And Mrs. Murray is the first one to realize that. You are right! Absolutely!
