After all, the Government is there to govern...what do the *people* know about it? I would have thought the Dutch, of all nations, would have had more sense, except that, of course, it was Prince Bernhard who founded the Bilderbergers. (Now, you can argue whether Bernhard is in fact Dutch, since he was born a German and served in an S.S. Panzer division...but what do these details matter?) Sometimes I think public policy would make more sense if all legislators were required to debate weighty matters standing on their heads... Bob ================================= Robert F.
