Hi
Exactly, and that and 10Cents ......
We are too busy making ends meet and that leaves little time for saving the
environment, do what you can. The formula is great for the power mongers it
will get what they want and gets us deeper in debt. It kills democracy, too
much power/influence in the hands of the rich and lots of scrounging for the
rest of us. The FCC ruling is one of the best examples that has come along,
the actions of the wireless comm. prov. shows a total disregard for any
concern for Jo Public.
 Now what...??
