Well, you guys ought to sign up with the www.moral-defense.org thats
a web page collecting signatures defending microsoft.
The alleged purpose of the Antitrust laws was to protect competition; that
purpose was
based on the socialistic fallacy that a free, unregulated market
will inevitably lead to the
establishment of coercive monopolies. But, in fact, no coercive
monopoly has ever been
or ever can be established by means of free trade on a free
market. Every coercive
monopoly was created by government intervention into the economy:
by special
privileges, such as franchises or subsidies, which closed the
entry of competitors into a
given field, by legislative action. (For a full demonstration of
this fact, I refer you to the
works of the best economists.) The Antitrust laws were the
classic example of a moral
inversion prevalent in the history: an example of the victims,
the businessmen, taking the
blame for the evils caused by government, and the government
using its own guilt as a
justification for acquiring wider powers, on the pretext of
"correcting" the evils.

Now all we need is a web site for against microsoft and we are all set for
public debate and the impact of the Internet on politics . I sort of
started the pro DOJ cyber thingie by requesting folks to mail to
the DOJ and their local State Attorney General . http://www.moral-defense.org
ups the ante by way of possibly having a much greater audience and keeping
a log of the proponents for its cause.
Yes, you can make a difference !
