Re: [ga] Austerity measures

Vany, Michael, et al.,

It appears almost as if some people actually believe that others are dolts.

And how about Pindar and ex-Swedish PM Bildt enjoying Iranian and Russian
caviar while they manage their "study".  "Bottoms-up!" as the champagne flutes
clink. [Kendall!?]

[aside: thinking out loud] Is there any reason to continue participating in the
farce?  What if everyone just quit the GA en masse?  Chairs and tables
included.  Well, perhaps not everyone would leave... but certainly a
significant, noticeable number..?

Condolences,

Sotiris Sotiropoulos
