Straighterline New Proctor Policy Change

Really, Ryoder? You didn't want to get political? Your e-mail surprised me with its views regarding competition. Businesses have gotten so big in the US, that they've trampled on any attempts at competition. Remember Word Perfect? My guess, and this is only a guess, is the Microsoft wanted to buy it, but the owner wouldn't sell. (That seems to be Microsoft's M.O.) Word Perfect, was, well, a perfect word processing program. Instead, Microsoft used their might to bundle Word into its Office Suite, and we get a second-rate program for word processing. Where is Word Perfect today? Stagnating somewhere because Microsoft sucked all the oxegen out of the room. And Beta versus VHS? Don't get me started. Businesses today do not care about America, the buying public, or anything other than the bottem line. And, contrary to Hollywood writing, greed is not good. Also, do not get my started on AT&T and the break-up of their monopoly. If Verizon has any competition, I'd like to see it. Trust me, trying to get ANY customer service from them is a hopeless task.
