Re: [ga] We can't be against it?

["William S. Lovell" <wsl@cerebalaw.com>]

In a moment of cynicism last May, I reserved the domain name
peopleworldwide.net as a starting point for a truly international,
democratic, representative, progressive and functional entity
that would be dedicated to the survival, recapture for those
"people world wide," and ultimate improvement of the Internet,
in that order.  If anyone wants to fund and/or help advance such
an entity in other ways, let me know.
