ROTFLMAO! Oh, wait, yer serious... They are going to have to brought down kicking and screaming, no joke. These people have a vested interest (money, jobs, power) in avoiding interaction with us at any level. Hence the EU reps and their flappers did *not* complain once about the high-powered lobbyists buzzing about them like gadflies, but complained much when they were "harassed" by opponents of the "legislation". Lobbyists give them nice things, we only give them headaches. There is enough info out there on the net already for people to prime themselves for this debate, we don't need more lawyers, we need more informed and vocal citizens, and if they don't listen we start messing up their beds. ;-) -- HaywireMac Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but that's the way to bet. -- Damon Runyon
