Buying Dell, HP, Compaq is buying from companies that pay taxes in the US, the most power hungry, war mongering country in the world!!!!
It is also the country with the most nukes in the world, and is no longer the bastian of democracy (George Bush managed to "steal" the election in Florida). They developed the Atomic bomb and continue to develop more "sophisticated ways" of maiming and killing. They won't sign up to any treaties (land mines etc).
They have invaded Afganistan and Iraq over the last few years (Iraq was "unjustified" and was done because they threatened to sell oil in Euros.) They are threatening to invade Iran for the same reason.
As well they have 5% of the world's population but use 50% of its energy!!!. Have no respect for the environment. Infact if you look at it they are not much differnent from China!!!.
So Think about that next time you buy HP, Compaq, Dell etc etc.... (Welcome to world politics)
