Why do we put up with them?


I am amazed, CB. We reported here earlier that the "word" had gone out to them not to party this time. Guess they just can't pass the "Free Lunch."

Actually all these World Trade Organization meetings such as Seattle, Davos, etc, which have each turned into stupid excuses for mass urban vandalism could be avoided by simply using state of the art teleconferencing among the members, at vastly lower cost to everyone, even if no expense were spared on progressive scan HDTV and other means well within reach right now.

But one doesn't expect the muckety-mucks to ever pass up a good boondoggle....
