Tom Davis happens to be my congressman. Maybe I should write a letter. Then again since I can't vote it won't matter. My mother is a quasi-fundie, and will vote for republicans no matter what. People like her who blindly vote are the people who got Shrubby in office.

It threatens Microsoft's monopoly, which isn't a good thing since it might actually start losing it's stranglehold on the software industry. [/sarcasm]
Also, America is run by a theocratic corporate oligarchy.
