Why I Idolize Larry Ellison...

Larry Ellison is one of the greatest people person in history. He stands god-like above the rest of as a god for humanity.

His infinite wisdom dwarfs even that of His Noodly Divinity, the Great and Wonderful Flying Spaghetti Monster. Once I find a decal of Larry Ellison, it will replace the FSM on my car.

In his latest and perhaps greatest insights into the greater good for humanity, His Holiness Larry Ellison has professed the brilliance, magnificence, and benevolence of the surveillance state:

Larry Ellison, Oracle CEO: NSA Surveillance Is 'Great'

The chief executive of one of the country's biggest software companies thinks that NSA surveillance is "absolutely essential."

Oracle CEO Larry Ellison told Charlie Rose on Tuesday that he's unbothered by reports that the NSA is collecting phone records and monitoring internet user activity.

"Who's ever heard of this information being misused by the government? In what way?" Ellison asked.

"Let me just hear you clearly," Rose said. "You were saying whatever the NSA's doing is okay with me?"

"It's great," Ellison responded. "It's essential. By the way, President Obama thinks it's essential. It's essential if we want to minimize the kind of strikes we just had in Boston. It's absolutely essential."

Ellison added that if government surveillance were used for "political targeting," rather than to investigate possible terror threats, that would be crossing the line.

Several major tech companies have distanced themselves from the NSA in the wake of reports that the agency has been allowed to access their users' data. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Google CEO Larry Page both denied the allegations. Oracle was not among the companies linked to NSA surveillance programs, though the company, which specializes in database management systems, does a significant amount of business with the U.S. government.

While some databases, such as MySQL, may run companies, Oracle runs countries and the world.

With such massive computing requirements, the next questions is about how many DB techs, networks admins, programmers, analysts, BOFHs, and peripheral jobs are being created.

Larry cares about people, and it shows. He endorses more jobs for non-bad-guy types. What a guy! So selfless. Richard Stallman could take a few lessons from him!

I'm certain that his love for the greater good/surveillance state has nothing to do with Oracle licenses in data centers.

Hail His Holiness Ellison! 8)

Hmmm... Just occurred to me... If I switch religions and ditch my colander, what kind of head gear do I need to worship Larry?

Typical Larry Ellison doing one of his "screw you" interviews. One more example of a pompous ass showing you just how much he cares about your knowing just how little he cares about anything you think.

Larry Ellison - into the notion of having massive intrusive government spying programs and databases on everybody



Adam Sutler (in V for Vendetta) - depends on having massive intrusive government spying programs and databases on everybody



Awesome - they even look alike! :P

How can you say that about this great man? From the video, just listen to these words of wisdom!

Well, the great thing is we live in a democracy. If we don't like what NSA is doing, we always, we can just get rid of the government and put in a different government.

That just rings so true in my soul! How right he is! We are so blessed to live in a democracy! We get the government we all deserve want!

Oh democracy! How do I love thee? Let me count the ways! (Are you recording this? It's totally going to be an epic poem...)
