At least the something he is doing is to benifit people that vote, and not a company that puts money in pockets.
Because if there's one thing I hate it is money in pockets! That's why I'm glad Senator Franken gets paid well into the six figures to help scold private businesses for how they treat their non-paying "customers". I guess the money in *his* pockets doesn't count? Because what with the bailouts and health-care bill he voted for, I'm sure going to have a lot less money in *my* pockets, in spite of the best efforts of the company I work for to pay me a decent salary.
Please note: The whole reason companies exist is to put money in pockets. The pockets of those who risk their money to start the company and those who put in their time and ability to make the company successful. If you don't like how Facebook runs their business feel free to not sign on to their system.

Um, what? There was always an alternative to Windows. It was called MacOS, it was first released on January 24, 1984. That's over a year and a half before Windows 1.0 was available in November 1985.
But I note that any blindly anti-MS sentiment on Slashdot can get modded "insightful" no matter how contrary to fact it is.
I'm not suggesting beating your child with a stick
By process of elimination I guess you are suggesting to beat the child with a carrot then. I mean, how many kids do you know that think a carrot is any kind of reward? Most kids I've seen, on the other hand, love to pick up and play with sticks.
So you think that money is the root of all evil. Have you ever asked what is the root of money? -- Ayn Rand
