(From: Nat Hager, > Subject: [USMA:19622] RE: European Union regulations)
Off topic, but did all of you also read in the WSJ article that it supports the use of spam and cookies that spy out what you are doing on the Internet? WSJ opposes proposed EU regulations against spam. As far as I am concerned, decent companies do not spam, do not send junk faxes and do not engage in outbound telemarketing. The position the WSJ takes in this regard is deplorable, as it is on many other issues, metric included. The success of Le Pen in France caused WSJ Europe to print a very vicious commentary against the EU. And the WSJ's comment on road safety, in this case about 'bull bars' and accidents with pedestrians is disgusting. It looks as if more deaths on the roads are not a big deal to them.
