[governance] Sense of the Senate Resolution

[Robert Guerra]

Milton:

as you well know, politicians have down to an art the " dishonest  
manipulation of public opinion" .... US politicians, are well - in my  
very personal view - very good at it...


Given the US comments at the PrepCom, it was only a matter of time  
before a proposal of some sort be tabled in the house or senate. Now  
that its happened - it will be interesting to see reactions in other  
"capitols"..




regards,

Robert
