This is the best point I've seen in this thread so far. Companies should just stick to their business interests and leave politics and social engineering to others.
Um, isn't this exactly what Microsoft did up until they got slapped with that antitrust trial in the late 90s? They found out the hard way that not playing the game can be very costly for the company.
It'd be nice if it wasn't like this, but it just isn't; this country is too corrupt for huge players to just ignore politics, when their competitors don't.
