Bill Gates Evil Empire

There was a report on Pacifica re Gates being charged with anti-trust violations by the government. That is old news like the Archer Midland Daniels price fixing scandal, but Gates has done far more. Charges include that Gates stole software and other innovative business-building ideas from competitors. He did this by picking their brains in business meetings where there was some kind of mutual business promise, but then would run home with the goodies and do his own version of these smaller companies had developed. How could such a socially revered capitalist (ha) do this to the Americans who admire him so? Will the bubble be burst? Will his face appear on Time Magazine as criminal of the year?
