NewsForge | Citizens Against Government Waste vs. Massachusetts OpenDocument decision

NewsForge | Citizens Against Government Waste vs. Massachusetts OpenDocument decision: "Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) is warning of the interoperability disadvantages and long-term higher costs of open standards and open source software again, this time calling the Massachusetts directive adopting the OpenDocument format as standard for the state 'bad procurement policy.'"

My opinion: It is not often that I use the word morons, but in this case it is relevant. The Citizen Against Governtment Waste is doing oposite of what they should do. And it must be morons behind this, even paid corrupt people dont want to write something that is so stupid. But it is typical that some pressure groups change to the opposite sometimes.

By the way, the people that has fighting for competition in US for 50 years has changed to become the most protectionistic you can imagine. The laissez faire has won over the free competition for many years ago in the new conservative US. But, they have right in some ways because the fight against the tobacco industry has been a media driven thing. But anyway, these peoples are NUTS!
