Is this is going to be your stock response to every European who posts constructive emails about the use of technology in politics, Rob? Or is this a one-time unconstructive and off-topic response? If it isn't one-time, I would again ask you to find some place else to insult people who are trying to constructively reach the goals of this list.
[Of course, I'm happy to be wrong about this being off-topic and/or unconstructive; perhaps there is something here I've missed.] Luis (also wondering how many people have unsubscribed over the past few days) On 10/22/06, CH Rob J King <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Attila, Do Europeans even still exist??? After all, with killing off y'all's babies in the womb, killing off the sick and dying (i.e. the Netherlands with its euthanasia laws!) and now lesbians wanting to de-fertlilize themselves, how are you going to still be a people group??? My guess is that Europe will simply become an extension of Islam in the coming years . . . Please see the Pope's article "Europe and Its Discontents" for a "scholar's scholar" view on the dissolution of Europe . . . http://www.firstthings.com/ftissues/ft0601/articles/benedict.html Remember that Pope Benedict XVI is a highly trained scholar who would teach at schools such as Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Yale, etc. even if he were not the Pope (i.e. his academic mettel alone would grant him a chaired professorship in the elite universities of Europe and N.

Reply-To: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [Campaigns-l] blog efficiency in politics: the Finland case Date: Sat, 21 Oct 2006 17:40:35 +0200 Hi everybody, An interesting story about the political power of a Wordpress blog focused on one campaign: http://wordpress.com/blog/2006/10/19/blog-activism/ "We just got this note from Tina in Finland, who agreed to let us blog it here. Regardless of how you may feel about the issue, it's a pretty powerful story. Thanks to the fantastic flexibility of WordPress, I was able to make a campaign site supporting the legalization of fertility treatments for single women and lesbians in Finland that quite possibly was a major factor in the law passing. (Treatments had been available before, but had not been explicitly legal, and the conservative parties had introduced a motion to make them illegal) The site shot up in popularity and we were sent statements by all kinds of politicians, including EU reps, ministers, and members of parliament. In the end, treatments were legalized by a 22 vote margin (83-105) which was far more than anyone dared to predict." .... It would be terrific, if there were more cooperations and intersections between blogs and wikis concerning real participatory politics.
