I mean, what if oh, say -- Microsoft announced it was upgrading the 16-bit GUI on top of it's operating system with amazing features and a wonderful new interface... and hyped it so much that people thought they needed to buy it for their toasters... that wouldn't hurt a rival (better) operating system for the year or two it took them to ship something, now would it?
You must be protesting _way_ too close to the smokestacks, bud.
As of the last I heard, a whopping _1_ EU country had ratified Kyoto, though the rest keep saying they probably will... sometime... whenever.
The original point stands -- if this treaty is so great, why haven't all the countries so upset at the US for backing out (_years_ ago) ratified it themselves?
