Question of the day (May 16, 2007):

Giuliani is pro partial birth abortion.
Romney flips flops on abortion like a fish on land.
McCain calls supporters of pro-life agents of intolerance.
Not one of these RINO candidates has lifted a finger in this fight against corporate corruption.

Are Brownback, Huckabee, Frist, Gingrich, Fred Thompson, and Alvin Reed the only ones who see a direct correlation between respect for life and respect for intellectual property?

Do RINOs and secular progressives consider it ok to steal babies,
or is it only ok to steal intellectual property and kill babies?

'What you want does not exist. MCI has licenses and in order to give you "proof" that they have not exceeded their licenses you would need to be shown each and every computer at MCI so you could count which ones had the software installed on it to make sure the licenses were not exceeded. This is not going to happen. It would be unduly burdensome.'

Email from MCI lawyer admitting out right that my department could have never passed a software raid.

Request that Kavitha Ranganathan, Rick Cassidy, Dave Vermilyea, and others be provided Verification of Ownership in case of a Verizon Software Raid

"Firing an employee for refusing to commit felonies
clearly dissuades reasonable workers from complaining in the first place"
anyone reasonable worker

9-08-03 I noted this date on a later email to Frank Adams as the day of this encounter.

Dave Vermilyea spends about fifteen minutes screaming at Leon King at the top of his lungs, just a few feet behind me, how illegal it would be to put MaxXtreme on our computers. Within seconds of Dave Vermilyea walking away, Leon King shoves the CD in my direction telling me to put it on my computer. I lose a week’s worth of sleep from this encounter because even though we did not report to or work for Leon King, he and Pamela Hogg worked extremely closely. It was well understood that he would immediately tell Pamela Hogg, who would tell our manager, if we did not put MapXtreme on our computer. My wife, Donna Reed, has agreed to testify to my loss of sleep and my mental state during this general time frame.

9-29-03 I send an email to the FLPS project manager, Pamela Hogg, complaining of being forced to use stolen property against my will.

“Pamela, For the record, I am not comfortable using Map Extreme until we have something in writing from MapInfo extending our 30 day trial. The Wednesday call may be a good time to ask. I don’t think they will have any objections to us using their Unix/Java versions since we are converting from Windows to Java; however, it does need to be in writing just to be on the safe side. Alvin”

Note that our 30 day trial ended sometime in 2000, several years earlier. MapXtreme agreed to a new 30 day trial around November of 2003. MapXtreme and I discussed on the phone a number of times during the first half of 2004 that we were long past our 30 day, or even 60 day trial.
