The standard model of particle physics is analyzed for the case of a Higgs potential not favoring spontaneous electroweak symmetry breaking to gain insight into the physics of the standard model. Electroweak breaking still takes place, and quarks and leptons still acquire masses but through bosonic technicolor. This ``other'' phase of the standard model exhibits interesting phenomena., Comment: Latex, 22 pages, 2 figures
