<p>Thank you Daniel.</p>
<p>The truth is that interest has over taken RESPECT of each other.</p>
<p>The World would give us more than we currently have; if will could put respect first.</p>
<p>The US do have great interest; and WISH to control an orderly Global Village.</p>
<p>To me its time to set the Global Village with the rules and regulations for a more respectful World Societies.</p>
<p>Warm wishes,</p>

The 'technical' consensus is based on common sense and in virtually
all cases wins, compared to the political consensus. The political
consensus is based on promises, that politicians ah too easy make
and that are never fulfilled in reality. But even if fulfilled, they
could only serve and satisfy a minority. There is no evidence of the
contrary.<p><font color="#500050"><br><br>> The most powerful interests are able to veto any progressive change. For instance, if we were lo...</font></p>
This is simple. If you go for a consensus, then you need to define
whose consensus. If you go the "democratic" way, and require the
consensus of everyone, as in voting, then the rich people generally
"lose" because those who do not consider themselves rich and will
believe they will not be taxed are more. If you have a ratio of say
1:100 to rich:other people, this is also politically 'reasonable',
because for every rich person vote, you gain 100 'other' votes. Of
course, the rich perople typically pay the politicians to do what
suits them, including for the election campaigns so for the
politicians it is really a matter of calculating where the greater
benefit will be. Not the public interest! Not any forward looking
planning and even vision.<p><font color="#500050"><br><br>> And if large corporates sat at the policy table, will they let it pass?<br><br></font></p>
Surprisingly, they may. Large corporations have been distorted to
the point, to care more about things like market share, shareholder
profits etc. They do not care much about (domestic) politics etc. So
corporations may surprisingly support more taxes for the rich, if
this brings them more profit (like, the masses having more money to
spend on their products).<p><font color="#500050"><br><br>> I am just trying to make a point that what works in CIR management does not necessarily work for...</font></p>
The key difference here is that Internet is global.<p><font color="#500050"><br><br>> The precise point of my original 'sopa or no sopa' posting was to show how this is not the case,...</font></p>
We have to understand two things here:<br>
<br>
1. The US has always been 'in charge' of the Internet.<br>
<br>
2. This will continue to be so, while everybody prefers to utilize
the services of US based Internet corporations instead of the
services of 'local' parties. Funny enough, most such cases are
"because we do not want those local guys becoming important, so we
will instead collaborate with someone abroad, why not that US
corporation that offers us so many promises".<br>
<br>
Internet let's everyone be their own masters. It also lets any
individual or a group of individuals have whatever they want
relationship with the rest of the world or any particular party. It
gives people ultimate freedom in communication. Most don't
understand this yet, but more and more already do.<br>
<br>
This is all freaking the Government types. And we see all sort of
SOPA things.<font color="#888888"><br>
