[governance] ICANN stumbling on a hornet nest

[Riaz K Tayob]

and space for ethics - as Karl's post shows, not least regarding 
finances? In general, the US polity may accept cutting of welfare while 
big corporates rip their taxes off (from the Iraq war through to big 
corporates getting small business grants) but this may not be acceptable 
others of us. The system IS open enough to allow some dissent, but there 
are systemic imbalances... this is different from many countries as 
critics are not necessarily crowded out totally (and here credit is due 
to the rich countries - exceptionalism - but this does not mean that 
critics are not ostracised... as someone put it, why does the toast 
always fall butter side down?

and as Hegel put it, to paraphrase, in the contest of interests - what 
space for virtue...? And how is this position any different from 'might 
is right'?

It would serve as a good reminder for those who are 'disinterested' that 
even Mandela was a terrorist according to the US until about five years 
after he became president...
