Israel is not the 51st state of the American union, it is a subsidiary of 
Microsoft. Bill Gates won it fair and square years ago, by providing 
cheap courses for web designers, and then teaching them only M$ gimmicks 
that real browsers, the developers of which knock themselves out to stick 
to recognized standards, don't support. And this will get worse before it 
gets better; already the sick funds and the Airports Authority (i.e. the 
Government of Israel), which are all supported by taxes and fees paid by 
all, feel that they need not serve anyone who is not also a Microsoft 
customer.

When this came up recently in connection with the sick funds, I said that 
the right way to combat this discrimination would be to get a lawyer 
interested in it. That's what it took to restrict smoking in enclosed 
public places -- without Amos Hausner, restaurants in Israel would still 
be obscured by a blue haze. Someplace there is a young lawyer recently 
out of law school who would jump at the chance to make a name for 
himself. We need to find him.
