    I am working on just that, invictus43, with every ounce of my efforts.

    Don't let anyone tell you it can't be done, because I am living proof otherwise.

    No no, I'm not commenting on the events themselves, just the lack of media coverage of them. You'd think this was big. The point was made that we're hearing of every miniscule event in everywhere else in the world (Egypt, etc), all of which are violence-oriented uprisings, whereas the peaceful overthrow of an entire government who messed up large and a societal revolution (Iceland) has been completely ignored by media.

    Can you be more specific about what's not being said?

    It's like "Nobody's talking about this thing that I have no information on". Uhhhh, yeah.

    don't waste his time with this post, he still has some draft legislation he has to write for the HTA forum.
    This post does not provide any legal advice and readers should consult with their own lawyer for legal advice.
