 Mike, Jean, Bill and Al...
 seems like there's not much
 hope there for establishing
 Common Carrier Status for the
 ISP's big or small. All these
 feet of clay crumble at the
 pressure from their conventional
 aids, lobbyists and assorted
 right/left pressure groups.

 It's like one has to tell every
 vested interest to flick off
 in order to preserve our precious
 Electronic Rights. And none of
 these "leaders" seems capable
 or willing or remotely interested
 in such apparent political suicide.
 So we all shiver until the dawn...
