assistant: I believe that the reasons are far more pragmatic, if an impeachment
 is attempted, and fails, the Republicans will have created a martyr in
 Bill Clinton. With this in mind, take a look at the mood of the
 American people, and the US Senate. The people will not, at this time,
 support an impeachment, and the Senate does not have the votes to
 convict, ergo, no impeachment. I am aware of folks who take the stand
 that the House should start impeachment proceedings, simply because
 Bill Clinton has given them grounds, but this ignores a simple fact.
 Politics is the art of the possible, and at the moment, impeachment
 isn't possible.

Can you explain the reasoning behind Microsoft giving a product away after
spending millions upon millions in production costs?  I doubt they are doing
it to be nice..  I've got my own ideas on it, none of them good towards MS..
Do you know why?  Microsoft took out more than just IE, they reduced
functionality across the board..
Neither one is the superior product, but not many know that, or could handle
it..
Believe it or not, I can guarantee it won't end up like you think it will..
There are good times to be paranoid, this isn't one..
