Or any other. As I recall, the previous administration used Apples in the White House. You did note that Enron shifted its corporate donations to the Democratic party in the last 6 months? A Democrat, I believe in the Senate, explained that since the Democrats now control the Senate (Thanks to Mr. Jeffords sudden attack of conscience) there are "certain political realities that apply." Those are very close to his exact words. Ergo, corporations give $$ to get favors from the government, and they give that $$ to people who have the power to grant favors. That is what politics is about, power and money. The system is so obviously corrupt they don't even mind talking about it. So, how much money is Linux going to give to US Congressmen and Senators and Governors, etc. running for office in 2004? How much money are you willing to donate for the Linux PAC? Without money to give or votes to deliver, the Linux community, and indeed Linux itself, simply don't exist to our politicians. BTW, this is the way its always been, and it is not going to change in our lifetimes.
