"in this case we have one set of forces here that are pro-SCO, and I've characterized
them as the silent majority."

Isn't claiming the support of a silent majority one of those politicians tricks that translates
to:

There's no one who actually:

a) agrees with me

b) would dare to agree with me because they aren't sure which way the shit's going to fly
when it meets the fan

or

c) everyone thinks I'm barking mad, on a one way trip to a prison cell and an appointment with
Big Al and his magic tub of vaseline.

Personally I still don't see how this man can sit there seemingly unaware of the reasons he's
coming under verbal fire from a lot of people who's goodwill and good work he's trying to
hijack for his own personal gain. The guys either dysfunctional or so cynical that he
represents all that's worse in 21st century business methods.

Those who can do - those who can't sue

It's the old trick known on the Usenet as `the lurkers support me in e-mail'.

See Jo Walton's filk on the subject at <http://www.bluejo.demon.co.uk/poetry/interstichia/lurkers.htm>.

When this all ends, where will D'ohl be imprisoned?

c) everyone thinks I'm barking mad, on a one way trip to a prison cell and an appointment with Big Al and his magic tub of vaseline.

Now, if someone can be on hand when D'ohl gets incarcerated - with a suitably labelled truck - so that the news cameras get a shot of D'ohl being led into prison past a huge sign saying Vaseline...?
