Re: [ga] Dave: "they are free"

Jefsey,

>Dave,
>1. you say: they are free to do that. Right.

Back to the burger thing, I am free to open a burger shop. Right.


>2. liberty calls for liberty protection, otherwise it is not a liberty. If
>they are free, it means that their freedom is to be protected.

OK, my freedom to oper a burger joint has to be protected.
I assume you mean: nobody can force me to close down, nobody can prevent me 
from advertising my burgers, and the alike.


>3. this is exacly what they ask for, their freedom to create heir own TLD
>not to be agressed.

Exactly.
I'm free to run my own business, if I feel that can be profitable - in fact, 
I can run it even if I don't think it will be profitable ;>)


>4. they only suggest from their own experience a common root to help good
>relations. They support iCANN, iCANN agresses them. Where is their freedom
>you accept?

Wait, wait, wait!
I run my own burger joint, until yesterday I have been screaming and yelling 
against McDonalds, but now I support them, I really think that they should 
let me operate in franchise, under their umbrella-organization, otherwise I 
will consider this an aggression!
(and appeal to the Constitution, the California courts, the Founding 
Fathers, the Red Cross, the Great Pumkin,....)

I will fight for their rights to run alternate roots, *not* their supposed 
right to get into the root co-ordinated by somebody else.
But this not because they are good or bad: because otherwise everybody will 
feel authorized to wake up one nice morning, and claim an ASCII string (and 
soon Unicode string) as proprietary and, in name of the sacred principles, 
be allowed in the root.

Regards
Roberto
