Connect the dots, contrary to the highly postured false rectitude that you are conveying, Ellison has a very long track record of sleaze that at a minimum, ought to elicite a great deal of suspicion. (I will contact McCain's people for additional info, let me know if you would like me to mention you personally :) Assuming that you actually care about corporate responsibility, and aren't just acting pissy for the heck of it, you can find additional background on McCain's position here: http://www.straighttalkamerica.com Most recently, Oracle tried to buy off legislators to thwart an audit of the ELA that Oracle/Logicon put together with the State of California. As far as I'm concerned, all the *ssholes involved in that at Oracle/Logicon, lobbyists, and in the legislature, ought to be in jail. btw, I'm sure that if Ellison had sold lots of stock at the bottom of the market, and then it went way up, no one would complain. regards, ep | Original Message: | ----------------- | From: Tim Gorman Tim@SageLogix=2Ecom | Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2002 13:02:06 -0800 | To: ORACLE-L@fatcity=2Ecom | Subject: Re: McCain on Larry Ellison and Corporate Responsibility /=20 | Re: OT - unix | | Nope=2E | | I just thought that people are innocent until proven guilty=2E One=20 | thing about someone in Ellison's position is that it would be=20 | impossible for him to *ever* sell stock without having the unfounded | accusations you've quoted being hurled at him=2E So, are you saying=20 | that it is OK to throw such accusations around, when you don't know | anything about anything?
