   I suppose so, but variety was always the key to the PC's   
   sucess...although it's also the key to why LINUX isn't more   
   popular...too many half-finished, half-assed apps.

   The problem is that all these browsers are either half-implemented OR   
   actually support the web standards.  Half the web is junked up with   
   crappy IE specific HTML now, so nothing ever looks quite right using   
   any broswer but IE.

   Civil liberties are black and white issues.   
   I don't think people think far enough to see the   
   ramifications. The PATRIOT Act was a dagger in the   
   heart, really, of even the concept of a democratic   
   government that is free, equal and just.
