[governance] Reinstate the Vote

[Guru@ITfC]

Hi Veni,
 
I wish you had given some counter examples from Bulgaria as well while you
were discussing the nature of Americans, it would have been even more
enlightening.
 
warm regards,
Guru

There's another good proverb on that issue, "he whose belly is full,
believes not him who is fasting." 
For some of the Americans the issues about the Internet are related to
something, which some of them believe, is related to power. For the other
Netizens - we care about the price at which we get our Internet connection,
about the freedom of access, freedom of speech, etc. 
But some of the Americans, who take so many things for granted, just because
they happen to be born in the USA, we need to just try to educate them about
"the other world". 

I say "some of the Americans", because obviously not all of them are like
that (thanks, God!), but it is interesting that those are quite vocal, while
the others stay quiet.
