One person doesn’t control the enterprise nor are they ultimately accountable for it unless they, themselves, perpetrated the acts.

Granted, Bill probably did. He’s just never been tried or convicted in a criminal trial.

Having said that, I’d likely vote for him. Why not? We’ve had far lesser people elected into office in the past and perhaps currently but I’ll not delve into politics that much. My views aren’t typical and thus aren’t generally fit for expressing in public.

What is his political affiliation though? Whose mandate would he be running on?

What is his stance on the war? How about national security? Or emigration? Or unemployment? Or taxes? Or minimum wage?

What are his views on education, health care and social security?

How would he fix our budget deficit? Is he for big government? Is he one of the trickle-down republitards?

We don’t know. And these are the kinds of questions we should be asking about any candidate. Running a country is very different from running a successful business. Democracy is not about making profit, but about serving the interest people to the best of your ability. We know he can turn a profit by ruthless, merciless business cunning. But can he run a country? That is the important question.

Of course the rest of the world may end up hating the guy but who cares as long as he’s taking care of his people. Then again that may have some backlash from other countries.

On the bright side he wouldn’t take bribes from large companies, China or sell arms to rogue nations. With the crop we’ve had in recent memory I’d vote for him.

Who do you want, the crooked bastard who intimidates interns into giving blow jobs, the crooked bastard whose cronies mkae big bucks off lots of dead soldiers or the crooked bastard whose software makes the world able to communicate? I know which one I’d chose.

Sorry, that’s Homer Simpson, not Dilbert.

All you people swooning over Bill’s philanthropy… so easily bought? Does it not matter how someone earns their money? Bill is a convicted monopolist who earned his money by sabotaging his competitors’ software. He did it by controlling the operating system that runs all Windows software. That’s the equivalent of putting nails in the tires of your opponents’ cars in the Daytona 500 because you control the track. How would you like it if I broke into your house, stole all your stuff and gave it to charity? I bet you’d rather see me in jail than in office. But when criminals make lots of money, we tend to go easy on them. Deep down they’re just like us, aren’t they? Not like the seething unwashed masses who steal bread to live. Those people ought to be executed.

Philanthropy is wonderful, as long as the money you’re giving away is your own and not someone else’s.

Let’s put on our thinking caps, people!!
