I wonder how many people complaining here are even registered to vote? Get off your a$$es and DO something. Register, then go vote. Skip the big parties if you want and vote Green or Libratarian or write Linus as your candidate. Just DO SOMETHING besides complain.
If you dont vote, you dont get to bitch.
It bothers me that this was a meeting hosted by the US Dept. of Commerce and invited parties were almost exclusively industry reps. This reflects the Bush Administration's bias toward business and the consumer be damned. It seems to me that a 'roundtable' hosted by our gov't should try to represent ALL interested parties. We need to make our voices heard as it painfully obvious who Washington DC is choosing to listen to.

The Great Wall of China was built to keep forigners OUT. And it suceeded for hundreds of years. The culture still fosters this attitude.
