America 1982
Chapter 149 Angels and Demons
In the lobby of the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington, the elevator opened. Tommy straightened the buttons on his suit and walked out, followed closely by Delia, who was carrying a briefcase, and two Stanford lawyers.
"This is an opportunity that you have personally welcomed, Tommy. All media related to the computer industry in the country will pay attention to this hearing. Although the heads of companies from Microsoft, MicroPort, and IBM have also attended, you have also seen those scenes. But you have to know that they are not the ones being watched, they are just being consulted, and you, the person involved, are the real weight that allows Congress to finally decide whether to amend or legislate." Delia is further away from Tommy than the other two. Recently, she was chasing after Tommy, repeating these words that she had warned many times.
Tommy was dressed in a decent suit and walked towards the main entrance of the hotel with a calm face.
Today is the day that Actor Company Tommy Hawke attended a hearing initiated by a total of thirty-two members of the Congressional Joint Committee on Computer Development.
This hearing was mainly based on the software infringement case between Actor Company and Lotus Company to discuss the development status of the computer software industry as well as issues such as patent protection and copyright standards. Prior to this, the heads of software companies such as Microsoft, MicroPort, and Baolan had It has received subpoenas before Actor and Lotus to accept congressional inquiries on related issues.
"You seem more nervous than me." Tommy turned his head to look at Delia and smiled.
Delia nodded slightly: "Because I didn't expect Mitch Kapoor to perform so well at the hearing before. Now the pressure is on your side. You have to know that Byron Kennedy's idea is to encourage congressmen to make money." For two money, they can first amend the law and then legislate, but it will only look a little ugly, and then replace the Lotus company that should be sacrificed with the Actor company. Although the change of target will have an impact on the software industry, there is no difference in the eyes of the lawmakers. "
Byron Kennedy's tenure as the vice president of Lotus was not without success. For example, he helped Mitch Kapoor attend the hearing before other software companies and Tommy Hawke. For Mitch Kapoor, it was It's equivalent to getting the right to start the game.
Frankly speaking, American congressmen know nothing about computer software. During the first hearing, they will try to avoid asking stupid questions and exposing themselves as idiots because they know nothing.
Therefore, the questions asked will be relatively routine, but as the hearing continues to unfold, their understanding of the industry will gradually deepen, and the questions will become increasingly sharp. To put it simply, Mitch Kapoor got the test questions of elementary school students. Tommy Hawke, on the other hand, got the graduate exam questions. You can't question this unfair treatment, otherwise you will be punished directly by the angry lawmakers.
What Tommy Hawke can do now is to do this more difficult exam question better than Mitch Caple.
That's what Delia said, don't think that the legislators have a bottom line. They are more likely to eat two fishes. First, they will amend the law to make money from Lotus, so that Actor will die, and then they will legislate to make money from those large software companies.
The lobbying power mobilized by Byron Kennedy is also constantly promoting the emergence of this situation. Whether Lotus or Actor dies will have no impact on the subsequent operations of the lawmakers.
"Unless you give them something more important than money." Tommy said with a smile.
Delia nodded: "I know you have already prepared those trading items, but the most important thing is... you must clearly tell them in the media records. People across the country may help you find mistakes. You You must carefully consider every word that comes out of your mouth. If you are not careful, you will be the one who gets the backlash. What they need is a trading product that can look directly at the sun."
"Everything can happen under the sun. Actor is just a shell. Will I lose anything if it loses the lawsuit? I have said that I am never doing it for my own personal profit. I am doing it for developers who are not as lucky as Mickey Kapoor. It's for those who want to change their destiny." Tommy walked out of the hotel door and looked at the blue sky:
"For me, the hearing is nothing more than telling my true inner thoughts to all those who want to know it. The Bible tells us that I wish my words could be recorded, and my words could be written down in volumes with a stylus. Carve it on stone and use lead on it, so that it will last forever."
Then, he strode towards the prepared commercial vehicle:
"After my skin was broken, I went beyond my body to visit God."
…
Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, a small town called Livingston.
SSD fraternity headquarters.
After walking through the long corridor of the SSD headquarters, Eric pointed to the closed door next to him, patted Tommy on the shoulder, and carefully helped Tommy put on the SSD brooch on his chest. His voice was a little low:
"As your big brother, I can only send you this far. You must give an explanation to the SSD Council. To be honest, I am worried that when you come out again, you will not have this brooch on your chest. You will not know How many chapter presidents from various SSD schools are sitting inside? You will not know their names, identities or any information. You only need to know that the people who appear here tonight will decide whether you can stay in SSD. You will be blinded. Close your eyes, sit in the middle of the council, accept their questions, Tommy, and answer every question they ask."
"I will, brother, they have a misunderstanding about me, I don't sympathize with black people, I will explain this problem to them and convince them to learn from me." Tommy said with a smile to his big brother Eric.
Eric nodded seriously: "I believe it, because you, a bastard, are always so confident."
"Let me in." Tommy high-fived Eric and said with firm eyes.
Eric took out a piece of black silk with the SSD badge printed on it, and personally helped Tommy cover his eyes to make sure that the other party couldn't see anything. Then he took Tommy's hand and pushed open the door in front of him.
"SSD Stanford Chapter Recruitment Chairman Eric Bell, I personally sent my brother Tommy Hawke, who is also from the SSD Stanford Chapter, here to accept your questions."
Inside the door is a large and dark venue. All the windows are covered by black curtains. The circular table surrounding the room is filled with figures wearing white robes.
The only light comes from a small candle lit in front of each person, which only illuminates a little space in front of each person.
In the center of the venue, there was a square table alone. On the square table was a piece of lighting wax that was brighter than other candles. It was enough for everyone in the room to see Tommy's expression, and it also seemed to be for Eric. Guiding the direction.
Eric took Tommy to sit down at the square table, then got up and walked outside.
The moment the door closed, he heard a voice inside: "Tommy Hawke, when you joined SSD, what did the last sentence of the last page of the manual tell you?"
"Sovereign Lord God, I swear this as my own life, and if he despises my oath and breaks my promise, I will be responsible for his sin." Tommy said with a calm voice.
Another stern voice sounded: "This secret meeting room at this moment is filled with your SSD brothers. Are you willing to swear that you will not lie or cheat and be honest with them in the future?"
"I do."
…
In the Capitol Building in Washington, Tommy Hawke, escorted by Delia and two well-known California lawyers and visiting professors at Stanford Law School, walked through the hall filled with flashing lights and crowded media reporters and walked into Senate Hall 3.
In fact, the practical significance of being accompanied by three lawyers is not great. At most, they can use their eyes or subtle gestures to remind Tommy of his wording on the spot, and be careful not to be caught by the camera. Then, they can observe Tommy's state. If he is found to be Various problems break down the psychological defense line and promptly apply for a break from the convener.
It is mainly symbolic. Although only Delia accompanied Tommy into the conference hall, the other two lawyers could stay in the lobby and wait for the news. By the way, they could communicate with the media reporters waiting for the results and express some support and support from Stanford to their students. view.
This hall is not big, especially when it is filled with eager members of parliament, assistants, recorders, and reporters and cameras from several TV stations and media authorized to record the whole process. It will only make people passively accept the question table in the center of the room. The target becomes increasingly suffocated and feels the urge to flee.
It is said that many people who participated in the hearing sometimes had a psychological breakdown not because they were trapped by a certain issue, but because they did not know how long they would have to be imprisoned in front of a questioning table less than two meters away in this depressing environment before they became desperate. feel.
And once you can't stand this kind of pressure, even if you just want to adjust your mood and take a rest, reporters will amplify it into psychological defense, avoidance of questions, or seeking perfunctory answers from lawyers. In short, your impression score will easily decline.
The hearing is a battle of willpower, with the opponent and with oneself.
On the rostrum at least fifty centimeters higher than Tommy Hawke's position, Fein Stein, chairman of the Joint Computer Development Committee, and five senior members looked down at the young man with indifferent eyes.
After Tommy Hawke sat firmly, Fein Stein motioned for all the members to sit down and be quiet, and said to Tommy Hawke in a gloomy voice:
"Mr. Tommy Hawke, before this hearing officially begins, you need to take an oath. Please raise your right hand and guarantee that all your speeches in this hearing will be without any concealment, lies or deception. If there are any of the above problems, , you will be subject to dual sanctions from law and morality."
Tommy Hawke raised his right hand, looked at the other person calmly, and said slowly: "I do."
…
"Do you sympathize with black people? Tommy?" In the darkness, Tommy heard this question.
Tommy Hawke said in a relaxed tone: "No, I am from rural Warwick, Rhode Island. My great-grandfather was the vice chairman of the Death Pension Association of the Ku Klux Klan in Warwick. Every time a black man was burned to death by the party members, he would be proud of it. Keep a record of them in the ledger, and thanks to my great-grandfather and his companions, blacks were rarer in Rhode Island than animals in the zoo, which gave me no basis for sympathy for blacks, because there were no blacks in Warwick.”
"But you have participated in many interviews, and you have never publicly expressed dissatisfaction with black people. Instead, you have shown a closeness to them that makes SSD brothers feel uncomfortable. At the beginning of its establishment, SSD made its position public, that is, it will never absorb any A person of color joins the association, and at the public level, you are doing the opposite of SSD. Are you ready to break your oath and break away from SSD?" asked a hoarse voice.
Tommy closed his eyes and shook his head slightly: "No, everyone in the SSD Secret Council, I need to explain this issue emphatically. Due to the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, SSD's racial discrimination has not been greatly excluded. As long as SSD You can continue to survive without publicizing it, but believe me, sooner or later, even if racial discrimination only exists in our internal manual, it will be denounced and excluded. In the end, Stanford University and other universities will be under pressure. The day will come when SSD is not allowed to exist on campus, and what I am prepared to do is to make that day come later."
"You are the one who is hypocritically chatting and laughing with black people in front of the camera? Do you feel the same for them?" a voice asked disdainfully.
Tommy shook his head again, with a smile in his voice: "That's not enough, brother. I will do more than talk and laugh, and empathize. I will become a good friend of black people, a member, and I will become one of them." member, I would consider myself a black man."
"Of course you can, but you have absolutely nothing to do with SSD at that time, and SSD will disclose all your previous actions to the court, showing that you are a hypocritical person because you deceived your brother and violated your oath, You need to be punished." Because of Tommy's words, there was obviously more anger in the voice.
Tommy smiled and asked: "Can I ask you a question at this moment?"
"Okay." A voice said.
Tommy asked in a natural tone: "Do you think you can still hang black people or other people of color with crosses in public and then set them on fire like your ancestors did?"
"This question is meaningless." The other party gave the answer.
Tommy insisted: "Give me an accurate answer, yes or no."
"No." After a long silence, the other party gave the answer with a sigh.
Tommy raised his head slightly at this moment, pointed his face in the direction of the sound based on his hearing, and said calmly: "I can."
…
A committee member asked at this time: "Mr. Tommy Hawke, the OSS software of Actor Company is very similar to Lotus Company's Lotus1-2-3 in interface, and even has the same key combination operation method, and OSS's support for Lotus1 The file format of -2-3 is not authorized and compatible. Do you know that this is a mistake and inappropriate behavior?"
"Mr. Chairman, fellow congressmen, I know that Actor may have made some mistakes, but they are definitely not the mistakes you are mentioning at this moment. The great United States has laws such as Intellectual Property Law, Copyright Protection Law, Patent Law and so on. I am When I was developing OSS, I went to work part-time in the library and looked up relevant legal information. At least I couldn't find an answer in the Stanford University library that could clearly tell me that the development of OSS software was wrong." Tommy smiled and said to the other party replied.
The other party immediately looked into Tommy's eyes and asked: "You said that Actor Company made some mistakes. Can it be considered that you know that OSS's plagiarism is wrong?"
"No, of course plagiarism is wrong, but the question is, who will tell us that if OSS is similar to Lotus1-2-3, it will definitely be defined as plagiarism. If the interface distribution is similar, if it is deemed as plagiarism, I think all yachts in the world can do it. Each other accuses the other of plagiarism, because there are only a few types of yachts, monohulls, catamarans and multihulls. But why is there no lawsuit based on this issue in the yachting industry? Because the Supreme Court determined that the existence of the hull is for the user. Security is a public patent, and this is also the problem with software. The interface distribution is the hull. It does not have any technical content. I can design it into other types of interfaces, or if the law tells me from the beginning, the software operation interface is protected by patents. Protection, then OSS will definitely not learn from Lotus1-2-3, because it is the law of the United States that guides me to make the interface so similar to Lotus1-2-3. I thought that the interface is the same as the hull and is not protected. Otherwise, why I can't find the relevant provisions in the law?" Tommy said calmly.
Seeing that the committee member had no other questions, Fein Stein did not give Tommy any chance to pause and rest, and immediately asked Tommy: "You just said that you could design the OSS interface into other types, but you still chose to plagiarize, or The word you used, reference, why? Why don't you redesign an interface? Can we assume that you are trying to imitate Lotus because of its amazing sales?"
"Yes, Mr. Chairman."
As Tommy said yes, the flashlights flashed continuously, and the congressmen sitting in the seats also made slight discussion sounds. Fein Stein motioned for everyone to be quiet.
Tommy continued: "This is not decided by me, but by the market. Lotus 1-2-3 has an amazing market share. It tells the United States what the interface of spreadsheet software should look like and how people should use computers. To complete work related to forms, another problem arises. Another similar software is trying to enter the market. It needs to understand industry standards, such as Actor. The Actor company wants to understand industry standards, but the standards do not exist at all. So what should it do? I can only choose the software work that best represents the industry, that is, Lotus 1-2-3. If I design a completely different operating interface that runs counter to industry standards, with all due respect, sir, my IQ may not be suitable for this job. This profession.”
"As a practitioner, your view of industry standards is to plagiarize and learn from similar products?"
"I have no opinion on industry standards. Mr. Chairman, I am just the person in charge of a small company and am insignificant in the industry. It is up to you to tell me the industry standards. For example, you decided to use Lotus1-2-3 for this lawsuit against OSS." As a reference, relevant standards will be introduced after a brief discussion. It is better to carefully understand the development process of this industry and carefully formulate a series of standards. It is not me or other companies who have opinions, but me. We are waiting for you. Tell us what to do. The industry cannot grow wildly and needs supervision. But there is a problem. Both Actor and Lotus should be the subject of supervision. No one can be immune. If this lawsuit is used to determine the standards, what will happen to the industry? Actor Company or me personally are a little harsh, because I will not accept it. Lotus Company has done the same thing before, why can it be so sanctimonious now and accuse Actors who are just imitating it? This is very unfair to Actor Company."
The scene was in an uproar again.
Fein Stein had a serious face and slowed down his speech: "Mr. Tommy Hawke, what you just said may be undocumented slander."
Tommy looked directly at Fein Stein's wrinkled face without fear, and every time he opened his mouth, the wrinkles were like squirming snakes, and said: "Soft Arts CEO Dan Bricklin is willing to do what I just said. If you want to testify, if you allow me, he is outside and can attend this hearing at any time. He will cooperate with your inquiries and submit the development logs of Soft Arts Company for support. He and the software development logs can confirm that Lotus Company’s Lotus1- Before the launch of 2-3, Mr. Mickey Kapur went to Soft Arts Company many times as an excuse to exchange computer technology with his classmates. Soon after, Lotus 1-2-3 was launched. The software included the PC version of VisiCala of Soft Arts Company. This is a convenient function that is ready to shock the industry. This behavior caused the sales of VisiCala to decline rapidly. Another point is that Lotus tried to acquire the software company when the sales of VisiCala dropped sharply. Mr. Dan Bricklin believed that Lotus was preparing to plagiarize this thing. The scandal was completely covered up, so he refused to acquire it. However, because there was no relevant law for him to refer to, and the company was strapped for funds and could not afford the high legal consulting fees, Soft Art Company did not initiate a lawsuit. But now, Soft Art Company has officially filed a lawsuit with Lotus The company initiated the lawsuit, and they, like Actor, firmly believe that the sun will always shine into the computer software industry and bring light here."
…
The voice said dissatisfied: "Are you saying that you are willing to burn a black man to death to prove his innocence? Tommy Hawke, we don't need such bloody illegal acts that bring negative impressions to SSD. Black people can live in this country. ,We are only……"
"You just want to deceive yourselves. There are more and more black people, and there is nothing you can do. You don't dare to burn black people to death. You will only severely reprimand your white brothers who smile at black people, right?" Tommy interrupted the other party directly, He spoke.
A dissatisfied voice said: "Watch your attitude, Tommy."
Hearing this voice, a smile appeared on Tommy's lips. He was very familiar with this voice. It belonged to the boss of his Stanford branch, Charles Salmon. He had never spoken before. Only Tommy interrupted the questioner rudely before he spoke dissatisfiedly. , not really dissatisfied, but wanting to remind Tommy to be polite, these people are deciding his fate in SSD.
Tommy breathed out: "Let me tell you how to burn black people to death in the public eye. I am going to set up a TV station, a black TV station. I think black people need to be treated equally. They need to have TV stations and programs that care about their preferences. Hip-hop singer , black directors, producers, black players, etc. Maybe you think this has anything to do with burning black people to death, let me tell you! TV stations can spread the impression of black people to other races, I want white people, other Race shows through the programs of black TV stations, and the celebrities who come out of black TV stations will always have stereotypes about black people. They will know the virtues of black people, dig deep into the negative images of black people, and present them in front of the audience, thus making everyone hate black people in their hearts. Only in this way can the brainwashing resistance of organizations that promote racial equality be increased, so that racism can continue to exist, and there will always be people who are willing to defend racism. If you still don’t understand, I can put it more simply, that is to put some black people in a bad position. One side is presented and magnified, making Americans think that these black people can represent all black groups, putting the black group on the fire, and then we can use the black group to earn subscription fees, and then donate the money earned to SSD or Other organizations make money from black people and discredit black people at the same time, so how can you suspect that I sympathize with black people? When I was in the country, black people didn’t give me a fucking bowl of food.”
"Maybe it's because your grandfather killed all the black people that no black people can give you a bowl of rice." A voice spoke again, already smiling. He obviously understood Tommy's plan.
However, SSD are not all smart people. An idiot asked curiously: "...are negative content about black people broadcast on the TV station? Are you sure black people are willing to do it?"
"If a white man curses, he is just waiting to be troubled by black people, but the louder the black people curse and the more vicious the words, the happier they will be. That is a group of garbage who regard past suffering as present glory." Tommy said with certainty. said:
"Believe me, no one understands black people better than me. After all, your state has never been as clean as Rhode Island. When a hip-hop artist uses Jim Crow, gator bait, mandingo, black buck and other black stereotypes When the words make up a song that ridicules their own race, those black people can happily pay for it and feel that the guy is helping them remember history. Those idiots regard calling themselves niggas as a privilege worthy of showing off to white people, rather than humiliation. You see Do other skin colors have this symptom of cerebral palsy that is a failure of evolution?”
"Your words...make me believe that you are unlikely to sympathize with black people. Tommy, I don't even need to hear you finish. Everyone, I believe this brother." A voice finished, then stood up and straightened his body. He walked to Tommy's square table and placed his own candle on it.
Then he patted Tommy on the shoulder and slowly walked back to his seat.
Another strange voice sounded: "Tommy Hawke, do you have any views on black people other than what your grandfather or fathers instilled in you?"
"Of course. In addition to the ugly, violent, rude, lecherous, criminal, etc. impressions that my grandfather instilled in me, now I also have to add in the impressions of being good at using the status of the weak to gain welfare and public opinion support. There are many tricks. Stanford Law School already has 32% There may be more students of black ancestry in other schools. These black people are smarter. I think after they have upper-class status, they will not be willing to abandon the label of weak. Then there will be a scene, a debate match, where you and a black person are. My opponent held a debate, and he won. He could publicize that I was the first black man to defeat a white man in a debate in college. , they do not accept the victory of a black person. In the future, this kind of thing will be extremely common, and sooner or later black people will join the SSD. This is not alarmist, but the inevitable result of the current bad development in the United States." Tommy said without thinking.
Charles Salmon's voice sounded: "In this terrible environment, how do you think SDD can avoid mixing in with black people?"
Tommy took a deep breath: "Americans all know that SSD is white supremacy. I think the best way is to start now to downplay the stereotyped label of SSD. We must take action to replace the label of SSD with honesty and simplicity. Diligence, piety and patriotism, replace racism with nativism, replace exclusion of people of color with exclusion of immigrants, this is my opinion, no one can wear white robes anymore, burn black people at no cost, and no one can I can no longer wear a white robe, use black children as bait for hunting alligators, and tell the newspaper that the death of any one of them is beneficial to the United States. Times have changed, and if you don’t want to be abandoned by the times, you need to change with it.”
"Did the entire vicious idea come from the education of your father's generation? Brother, you are far more vicious than everyone here." A voice asked with a chuckle.
Under the illumination of the candlelight, Tommy's face was serious, full of mystery and holiness. He chanted: "In the Bible, God tells us that because of greed, he will use his words to make money, and he will not be late in the past." , perish and never sleep."
…
Fein Stein picked up the water glass and took a sip of water, then looked at Tommy Hawke, who had maintained the same sitting posture since he sat down, without touching the water glass: "What do you think Mr. Mickey Capper said about spreading OSS for free? Is this the theory that Actor Corporation is doing some trickery to protect itself?”
"Shouldn't the best way for me to keep Actor Company be to stay away from Lotus?" Tommy smiled, then shook his head:
"Actor was not established to become a software company at all. Its original purpose was to help some women enter the workforce. The other party's lawyer investigators, my lawyers, alumni, and teachers can all confirm that I bought There are five or six popular computers and dozens of office software on the market. My purpose in studying them is to think about how to use these existing software on the market to help these women. But unfortunately, these software are too difficult to operate, and those who do not have The working women all have a high school degree, and if they could memorize the instructions for use that are as long as a dictionary, they would not drop out of high school.”
"The more important problem is that the price is too high. Even if the fraternity organization I belong to, SSD, is willing to support my charity activities, it can't do anything because SSD does not have much disposable funds. I don't know that 495 yuan for a floppy disk. Is there any financial pressure on everyone here? But those women have no money to buy such a piece of software. Even the initial price of OSS of 49.99 yuan scared many people away. They were not willing to believe us until we allowed them to find a job and then pay. . If Actor is established just to develop software, I will definitely develop a software that I like. I have always wanted to develop a chat software. That is, I can sit in California and sit in front of the computer without having to make a phone call. How does this idea sound to my brother from my hometown, who is typing and chatting, asking him what the weather is like, whether my father was injured while dismantling a ship recently, etc.? At least for a young man like me, it must be more interesting than OSS, in addition to spending time with my family. You can also chat with your girlfriend in a different place without having to pay expensive interstate phone bills. I say this to tell you that Actor does not lack creativity and does not need to learn from others. The reason why our development has been criticized by all practitioners is The OSS, which has no bright spots and lacks new ideas, has never been for self-expression, but for helping others, allowing those being helped to master computer technology more quickly, find a job, and give the United States more Smiley face.”
Fein-Stein continued: "But that shouldn't be a reason to borrow from other people's work."
Tommy nodded: "No one wants to learn from it, Mr. Chairman, I am... I am a arrogant college student, it doesn't matter, I heard the suppressed laughter, just laugh, I really think so, although I come from the country, but I I am arrogant inside. The reason for my arrogance is of course because I am the first college student in the Hawke family. I was admitted to Stanford University. I worked so hard and was so diligent. A person with an arrogant heart does not bother to learn from anyone. It's okay, unless... he discovers that there is only one way. If Lotus or other companies are willing to help those women, I will not set up Actor. It is the high prices of those companies that discourage many people who want to change themselves, blocking them. Changing my own path is not because I want to set up an Actor, but because my sense of responsibility for this country calls me."
"I am sitting here now, accepting questions on behalf of American citizens. I am very grateful to you for giving me this opportunity. I know that Actor Company has made some mistakes in lack of communication with Lotus Company in the process of helping others, but that is just our manpower. The reason for the serious shortcomings is not what we think. You can tell me that Actor Company has done something wrong and needs to be punished. I have no problem at all and accept it unconditionally. Don't ignore the evil he has done because of a good thing. Any decision Okay, I just have one question, a small question, and I hope that all the members will give me a guarantee and a commitment."
Fein Stein frowned slightly: "What a promise, Mr. Tommy Hawke, this is not a deal. Of course you can say whatever you want, but you can't ask everyone here to give you an answer."
Tommy Hawke stood up in front of the camera and bowed to all the congressmen present:
"It is my honor to have the opportunity to appear here, and it is also because I must have some inappropriate behavior problems. But at this moment, I want to say that OSS has distributed 600,000 copies, which means that 600,000 people have the opportunity. By learning this software, mastering computer skills, and finding a job that may pay more, the extra money may not make them rich, but at least it can allow a father to buy a birthday cake big enough for his child. , it allows a husband to buy a bouquet of more beautiful flowers for his wife, it allows women to gain independence, and it allows the weak to gain dignity. I know the outcome of the verdict, and the loser is often asked to recall the products that have been spread, but I would like to appeal here, You may be willing to give 600,000 people a chance. Don't let the computer skills they learned in precious time after hard work be abandoned. Instead, buy a new software at a high price and spend a lot of energy on learning again. Don't recall it. OSS or recall is also possible, as long as Lotus is willing to give those users a copy of Lotus 1-2-3 software for free."
"I come from the countryside, and I know how difficult it is for the people at the bottom to change their destiny. People often say that the American dream is inspiring. For example, my admission to Stanford University represents a small American dream. Through my own efforts, I have come from a distant place. I went to the beautiful California from a small town and stepped into the palace of knowledge to make myself stronger spiritually. The neighbors in my hometown were inspired by this. They also began to have strict requirements on their children, hoping that they would work hard like me and change their destiny. Then The 600,000 people are just like me. They finally have a small American dream. While they are working hard to learn OSS, they are imagining a bright future. I would like to ask all members of Congress to protect those 600,000 people. A little American dream.”
"Don't take away everything they have now, don't destroy all their expectations for this country and their future. Unfortunately, I may not be able to continue to protect their dreams in the future. For this, I deeply express my gratitude to those who are kind and hardworking. I apologize. I have always told people to listen to my mother, because my mother told me to do the right thing. As the actual person in charge of Actor, I think the most right thing to do at this moment is to beg you, please. Allow me to bear all the sins related to Actor alone and accept all punishments."
"The Bible - Second Letter of Peter once said that God did not forgive angels for their sins and threw them into hell, where they were imprisoned in eternal night to await judgment."
