trying again...
Connect the dots, contrary to the highly postured false
rectitude that you
are conveying, Ellison has a very long track record of sleaze
that at a
minimum, ought to elicite a great deal of suspicion.
(I will contact McCain's people for additional info, let me
know if you
would like me to mention you personally :)
Assuming that you actually care about corporate
responsibility, and aren't
just acting pissy for the heck of it, you can find additional
background on
McCain's position here:
http://www.straighttalkamerica.com
Most recently, Oracle tried to buy off legislators to thwart
an audit of
the ELA that Oracle/Logicon put together with the State of
California. As
far as I'm concerned, all the *ssholes involved in that at
Oracle/Logicon,
lobbyists, and in the legislature, ought to be in jail.
btw, I'm sure that if Ellison had sold lots of stock at the
bottom of the
market, and then it went way up, no one would complain.
regards,
ep
