- Well folks lets use this opportunity to point out a bad law.
-
- It prevents U.S. companies from being able to pool resources to be able to
- compete in flat panel LCD displays, DRAMS and consumer electronics with the
- Japanese and Koreans, both of which have nothing like our anti-trust laws.
- Compare the rate of growth of the standard of living in Japan and Korea with
- that of the U.S. and you'll clearly see that something has got to change.
- Instead of starting a new trade war, why don't we just unhobble our companies
- and let them give 'em hell?
-
- Computer Software is of only a very few areas in which the U.S. Economy shines.
- It is also one of the very few areas which hasn't been regulated to death.
-
- Don't you all think that the U.S. Goverment and U.S. Business have a
- very adversarial relationship? Wouldn't it be better if instead of
- working against our best companies the goverment would work with them?
