boycott ebay

Meg Whitman wants to take California back to the stone age. These aren't my words. These are the words of a Republican governor by the name of Arnold Schwarzenegger. And he is right. Why on earthy would Meg want to overturn the few environmental regulations we have? To create new jobs? You got to be kidding? Destroying the environment cannot bring long lasting value-creating jobs. It is always a stopgap measure.

Meg is not kidding however. She wants to use her "own" money, up to $100 million of it, to roll back the times. That $100 million is money she "earned" as founder and CEO of eBay. It is money, we the people put in her pocket and now she is going to use it against us. I say we teach her a lesson. And it will be a win-win.

eBay has long since stopped being a place for good bargains. I routinely find better deals running a Google search. And Google is better in more ways that one. They ignore spaces and other variants of spelling to get you the information you need. No surprise there, Google is not for nothing the best search engine on the web. And unlike Bing, it lets you make your own decisions.

I sure hope the people of California are smart enough not to support an environmental disaster like Meg Whitman. And I also hope they teach her a lesson by taking back some of that money they pumped into eBay. She doesn't deserve it.
