I've just watched a documentary about a famous american archeologist
who, in the 1930s,   helped a small indian village regain a stolen
sacred rock. In doing so, he ended up in some hidden indian palace below
wich were secret caverns where an ancient cult was being practiced. Non
believers were forced to drink some blood after which, they blindly
followed the religion without questioning it.

95% had become loyal to that cult and did not question its act, and at
one point even the archeologist had succombed to the blood's powers.
But the archeologist's younger helper found a way to bring people out of
this trance with a flame and they managed to free the thousands that had
become trapped in that complex.


Perhaps the same should be done with the people who have fallen into the
blind devotion of the Microsoft cult and willl blindly accept everything
Microsoft orders them to do. It is time to throw a flame at those people
to wake them up of this false god.
