Anybody want to start boycott-oracle.org? :-)
As the D.C. types would say, "that has no traction." Interesting that the cyberliberties crowd was so eager to launch a "Boycott Adobe" campaign because of their sin that they attempted to defend their property rights, but no one is launching a "Boycott Oracle" campaign over Larry Ellison's fascist support for mandatory citiizen-unit ID cards. As an Oracle investor for many years, I am ashamed that the President and CEO of a company I have long-owned is adopting the fascist and statist policies reminiscent of Nazi Germany. Ellison wishes Oracle to play the role of Krupp. "Ve vill volunteer our software, ja, in ze struggle." I would say he needs <censored>, and soon, but that might get me in trouble with the Securitat. So I'll leave it this way: FUCK ORACLE. FUCK LARRY ELLISON. Someday I will piss on his shallow grave. --Tim May
