What might the point be? Could it be that centered within his lucky empire born of the privileged position he enjoyed from beneath his mother's skirt as she sat in IBM board meetings, the vision of Gates is characteristically common sense, and accordingly mundane. As evidenced by his 1995 proclamation that the Internet was irrelevant to information technology in general and to Microsoft and its customers in particular, and as evidenced now by his apparent subscription to a definition for a regional transportation solution that it obviously be one manifested by conditions whereby an owner of a new Lexus might drive from Medina to Redmond unimpeded by gridlock, Gates continues to be the one-dimensional nerd whose unique genius for monopoly gave rise to a mythical persona that is popularly equivocated with the existence of true vision in his person and of innovation in his company - when all the while both qualities are markedly absent from both Gates, the institution, and Microsoft, the company. Ditto for his deviant view on engineering -- as if it were all about IT of the kind that enriches the MS bottom line, everything else no more than a valley-girl "what-evur!" cliche of social ambiguity, including "Intelligent Design." Hence the spendthrift baron, as well-intentioned as he may be, is no good substitute for -- dare I say -- the distributions of democracy.
