Kofi meet Cluebat!

the UN is trying to get its mitts on the Internet The BBC has a report here bq. UN chief Kofi Annan has accused English-language websites of crowding out what he called "local voices". bq. Opening the first UN summit on the digital divide, the secretary general said much of the information on the web was not relevant to the real needs of people. bq. He said this "content divide" was one of the challenges facing political leaders, business delegates and community activists in Geneva for the conference It is not Content it is People... Many of the UN Nations have effectivly stripmined their economies to keep the ruling classes in charge so of course, they don't have the infrastructure... But they can have these important 'meetings' in beautiful places like Switzerland to talk about it. and more: bq. Some 50 heads of state are attending, among them Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe, who is in town despite travel bans imposed by Switzerland, the US and the European Union. Mugabe needs to be stripped, slathered with honey and staked out over a fire ant nest. Zimbabwe used to be one of the jewels of Africa - decent economy and wonderful conditions for the people both black and white. He came to power, started taking the farms away and giving them to his political cronies who had zero knowledge about farming and of course Zimbabwe's primary source of income tanked. They used to export food, now they import it and their citizens are in very bad shape medically and nutritionally.
