J'esp�re que l'avenir nous donnera raison !

Says Laura Creighton, software entrepreneur and venture capitalist, who
has supported the FFII/Eurolinux campaign with donations and travelled
from Sweden to Brussels several times to attend conferences and meetings
with MEPs:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now those people who claimed to be opposed to having a US style mess,
but only liked the bill because it permitted such things, will have to
expose themselves. I predict a good number of them will claim that we
must not pass this one, because we need a bill that makes us more
similar to the US and Japan for the sake of not angering our trading
partners.
Now is the time to ask European politicians to show courage, and
world leadership and vote up the directive that the American
citizens, government, SMEs and Alan Greenspan wish they had
instead of the current mess. Ask them to harmonise with Europe.
The members of the European Parliament deserve thanks for their
efforts in understanding the social consequences of this
admittedly difficult technical decision. This has not happened
anywhere else in the world so far. We Europeans can be proud of
this political achievement, and I hope our politicians share
this pride.
