Uh oh...

If I were one of those guys, I'd be checking my brake lines before I got in the car.

politicians are going to win

They are going to win because they use unfair ways, actually they are just cheating over us.

W is right, politicians are doing so wrong all over the world. I don't know about Australia, but in France, in the Uk, also at European level, some really terribly wrong texts are being voted under the pressure of lobbies. We end up with the Internet turned into a private network. Microsoft dreamt of it in 1995 but our politicians are doing it now.
If lobby pressure is not good enough, they are not shy to go to higher level. In France cable operator Numericable is owned by Carlyle group since a few months. Half brother of french president was hired by Carlyle one month later. One month later again, Numericable was offered exclusive access to 10 millions homes.
Numericable is a very poor company, technically. 
Only corruption can explain why they are offered the first position.


People from Europe, don't let politicians ruin our future.
Go to this page and act now.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
