Dear Uncle Sam -
We are very grateful for your
"largess". Now get the heck out
of the way so we can make our own
darned NICs and stop sending our
precious hard currancy to subsidize
your freaking monopoly. We've given
you a gift of many millions of
dollars and you should be grateful.
Unless you would like us to begin
routing around Kybo America please
stop behaving like the owner
of earth.general just because
you were there first, eh?
Sincerely,
Johnny Cannuck
