That, Sir, is pathetic in my opinion. "The views of the child (art 12): Children should be free to have opinions in all matters affecting them, and those views should be given due weight "in accordance with the age and maturity of the child". The underlying idea is that children have the right to be heard and to have their views taken seriously, including in any judicial or administrative proceedings affecting them. I can live with that, with the emphasis on the emphasis. However, if this proliferates out of context of the "intent", this country had better be ready to be inundated with applications for asylum from minors of every third world country on the face of this planet. Not to mention what will happen to the court dockets in this country as every domestic unsatisfied child applies for asylum from their "oppressive" parents. I told my kids about it. One said she was going to apply to the Bahamas for asylum. Her younger sibling, upon hearing this, announced she would be applying to Hawaii. Humph! They can't use "spanking" as the basis for their claim. Yet. :-)

Guess all those ATT employees who expected to triple their money today on the Wireless IPO are feeling a little blue. Call me a cynic but, if it was such a great deal, why would they let the rabble in? Briefing: A full 10%, or 36 million shares, are being purchased by AT&T employees. The shares have no lockup period. How many of these shares are being purchased with the intent of dumping them immediately, with expectations of instant doubling or tripling, is unknown. A Wall Street Journal article of April 25 leads one to believe that most are being purchased with that intent. There will be no way of knowing what amount of volume of shares being sold today, Thursday, are coming from AT&T employees.
