-Caveat Lector-
The Internet probably is the last hope for our planet.
But old-fashioned letters might become an alternate provisional solution, if
we organize properly before the censorship is a reality and/or the Y2K will
close down the Net:
After all, ultimately it is the trade unions and individuals in the
communication sector and not the corporations, their politicians and agencies
that decide WHICH ONE of the two antagonistic parties they want to serve and
in WHICH WAY, in either of the two situations.
In the ideal case the last mentioned situation might even turn out to be to our
advantage over the corporations.
