>the April 18 dinner will be held at the $100 million lakeside mansion of Microsoft Corp. founder and the world's richest man, Bill Gates

No matter how much
cash Bill Gates may have, he's still
a computer guy . . .

That means probably
the president of China
will get something like --

[Ron in Acreage]

Looks like Gates will be figuring out his net worth in Yen.

[fieldmarshaldj]

China President Hu Jintao... Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire...

Wow, 2 unelected Communist dictators in one room, together ! Makes ya feel all warm 'n fuzzy inside.

[antaresequity]

Once again, Gates pulls a coup on his competition and foreshadows times ahead...this is arguably a meeting between THE 2 most powerful men on the planet...sorry Jorge Bush...you are not invited.

The future will not be decided by simpletons like you and I...rather it will be held in the hands of the mega rich and authoritarian leaders...the new global aristocracy...

Corporations and Governments will continue to meld and morph until we are left with a world not unlike that depicted in the book/movie Starship Trooper...

One world, one government...and service guarantees citizenship...the quest of Facist Utopia marches on...

By the way...Jorge Bush is a member of this club...and cares not for the common man...unless of course that [un]common man is an illiterate third-world hispanic willing to undercut American wages for the nourishment and enhancement of the government-corporate complex...

Welcome to the New World Order...try it on for size..."You might like the fit"

So Bill Gates is not only the Anti-Christ (or so I have heard), but is also in bed with the Chi-Coms....

Any further discussion as to why I hate Microsoft needed????

Like any good dinner guest, President Hu will not come empty handed. The Chinese government issued a decree two weeks ago that all PCs will need to have a licensed operating system software installed before leaving the factory gates in an effort to crack down on piracy.

In other words, Hu gets treated like royalty and probably under the table cash, in return MS gets another $400 million a year in revenue.

[Steamburg]

So our lack of Monoploly enforcement and lack of boarder enforcement has led to a new state for the peoples republic. This on the otherhand is good business for the chinese. Once they get the technology and manufacturing infrastructure they will be able to make their own, just like North Korea. At the same time, the consumer and tax payers are being repressed by the laws the government will enforce.

P.S. don't take it too hard. Just look at the other companies in the consortium and who they represent. I'm sure they can find ways to outsource Americans when they will work for a cheap wage.

[Lessismore]

I would think that Bill Gates and his guest list would make for a far more interesting evening that George Bush and his guest list.

And put me down for the fillet.

[Uncle Fud]

I wish I could remember all the "Linux is communist" freepers and ping them to this thread.

Guest Hu's Coming to Dinner

[thegreatbeast]

Why is his visit "historic"?

[joesnuffy]

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

1 Timothy 6:10

And even more have strayed from loyalty to the USA

Da House

[OKIEDOC]

I can see why politicians and rich dudes are always so crappy.

The food would make anyone crap out.

Wheres the beef, with ketchup and fries?

[OKIEDOC]

I see quite a few socialists Democrats have been invited.

Is Baghdad Jim McDermott, and other Washington State Communist Party members on the guest list.

Will sauteed dog delicacy be served?
