Microsoft's made BILLIONs under his leadership. It's REALLY hard to argue against those numbers. But we're now witnessing what happens when short term profits are traded for long term innovation.

Where are these 'non-partisan' people you talk about? Are they like people without an opinion? They don't care? They're to run elections?

Or are they really people who agree with you?

This is why the immigration problem won't be solved anytime soon. The issue is too valuable a demonization tool used by partisans against folks who may slightly disagree with him.

I'm not a big fan of dumping more money into our science budgets when young women can't get free contraception.

...not necessarily newspapers. Information vehicles (newspaper, radio, TV) that support liberal ideas are failing and the challenge is how to prop them up, like NPR/PBS.

Naturally attacking and handicapping those conservative vehicles must be a central part of any liberal media support plan executed by the government and Google.

It all depends on your view of humanity. Are we sheep requiring strict shepherding buy our Harvard educated betters, judging what risks should be allowed and forbidden? Or are we free, equal people allow to pursue liberty as we see fit, and being able to defend ourselves, family, neighbors, and property.

In the former, gun ownership by the citizenry MUST be STRICTLY forbidden. The later, encouraged.

This 'Basic Human Nature' you speak of, is there evidence of that or is that an article of faith?

Actually, I think that would be totalitarianism.
