Too bad. The real shame is that people actually think the exxons of the world aren't on the cutting edge of the political green agenda.John0 Juanderlusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12075248997178323818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26062571.post-33460332413560553252007-12-06T23:29:00.000-05:002007-12-06T23:29:00.000-05:00Yeah - what ever happened to the good old video co...Yeah - what ever happened to the good old video conference?

To them "logic" is an inconvenient truth. There's no warm fuzzy there. Besides, the United Nations (event sponsor) is our friend, only looking out for our well being, right?
