HEY! WAKE UP!

Lest anyone forget ... we broke the law when we separated from England to right a wrong.

Lest anyone forget ... Civil Rights leaders broke the law via civil disobedience to right a wrong.

USC is wrong ... period. The problem is that it's much easier for USC to use Eric as a scape goat then to own up to their own ignorance and flaws.

The fact that the sicked the FBI on Eric is Political. They could give a rat's ass whether they had a problem or not. If case anyone has not noticed, Universities are firing Professors with tenure or pulling their funding. They are picking up corporate principles; Money (not doing the right thing) is the bottom line. Corporate America and Corporatiosn world wide are absolutely screwing the individual.

What does a CEO contribute to a company that warrants a Multi-Million dollar payout when they screw up a company and yet the poor schmuck engineer or software developer who created the idea or software that made them rich, who never sees his family because he works 80 hour a week + gets a pittance then the heave ho when they find somone in Elbonia who last year was an auto mechanic and suddenly is a super duper programmer who will do the same job for half the money only the corporat numbnuts who hire the elbonian don't know the difference because they know less than the ex auto-mechanic about computers and since they can't get through the elbonians poor english to begin with can't figure out the guy's really an ex-auto mechanic in programmer's clothing.

Corporations are fuck*** up the world.
