Sure, it's a free country, but I already nominated Toolkit, he just needs to get that citizenship thing worked out.

Didn't you hear? Bill Gates bought out the United States Government and merged it with Microsoft. Every citizen--err--employee of the United States was given stock options and a hefty retirement package. So now Bill Gates is Chairman and CEO of Microsoft-America Corp. Surprised you didn't hhear about it...
Yeah, he is currently doing "hostile takeovers" with the army and in negotiations to merge with Germany and Great Britain.

Why would he want to? He would have to divest himself from Microsoft. He probably has more freedom and about the same amount of power now- and definitely more moolah.

Are you serious?

With all the anti-competitive business practices being investigated by DOJ, he's one of the last people I'd want for POTUS, except that he supports important medical research like AIDS.

More ramblings

I find it very disconcerting that one has to be wealthy to be the leader of a country or major state these days. So much for the "anyone can be President or Prime Minister".

Somewhat true. Money helps, but anyone can be elected, if they try hard enough. Many elected leaders failed in their initial attempts at gaining an elected office. Try again.
Is the glass half empty, or half full?
