what a fool. Using a (not merely) negative [actually a declining to address
somthing relating to one system for delivering media] to ASSert a positive
relating to a totally different system for delivering media.
"created out of thin air."
Here's his legal 'doctrine.' I WANT! I WANT! I WANT! So, there IS A LAW.
Nothing else, and EVERY LEGAL PRECEDENT either silent or to the contrary.
What a pearl.
I'm sure that the same type of 'legal' analysis was used by others at his
employer to:
1) Charge $600 to the government for an off-the-shelf crescent wrench
2) Charge $900 to the government for an almost-off-the-shelf toilet seat cover
3) Bribe several Navy official (directly using Boeing funds) through one Melvin
Paisley
4) Bribe (by hiring, despite a non-disclosure agreement) a Northrup-Grumman
employee, with a bonus when he 'brought along' confidential cost-estimate
documents from Northrup-Grumman that Boeing OFFICIALs then used to 'bid-rig'
their competing bid to the government
5) Agreeing to hire Colleen Druyan from her Air Force position (secretly)
effectively on the proposition that she throw the Air Force replacement tanker
contract to Boeing.
6) Harvey Stonecipher (married) having an affair with a female subordinate
(also married) while spending company funds and company time on executing and
hiding the affair.
Bert obviously, and his company, also obviously, were born without original
sin. They are incarnately inerrable. When others go to jail, it was the fault
of the errant, not them.
Charlemange lives! The devine right of kings, indeed.
I guess I will have to find more misdeeds of Boeing officials to pepper Bert's
responses on this thread. Also, note that I'm cc'ing abuse@xxxxxxxxxxx
