 MS has betrayed every business partner they've ever had, so far as I know.
Why should Hollywood be different? I'll bet there's plenty of wiggle room
in those contracts.

 Sincerely,

 "So when it comes to sacrifice [after 9/11], don't kid yourself. You have
 given up a lot. You've given up faith in your government's honesty, the
 goodwill of people overseas, and six-tenths of the Bill of Rights. Here's
 what you've sacrificed: search and seizure, warrants, self-incrimination,
 trial by jury, cruel and unusual punishment. Here's what you have left:
 hand guns, religion, and they can't make you quarter a British soldier."
