[Platt] I curious how you can look at the ineffectiveness of the U.N. and not entertain the notion that a planetary government would be equally incompetent.

But then efficiency is not a quality I value in government. moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
