...because next month it goes. Copenhagen is not about climate change (which is a furphy anyway, Dad’s twin, a serious geologist, has done the maths — everybody’s maths — & if anything, our next climate change will be a mini ice age — last winter was the worst (& strangest) the USA has had in a long time). The treaty at Copenhagen is about putting the UN in charge of everything (finances, politics, religion, etc), & no signatory can back out without first obtaining the consent of every other country, many of whom will be getting payments because Australia are signatories. Mr Rudd, of course, is eager for his government to be neutered. Are you? The treaty makes no mention of votes, elections, democracy at all. Signing your life away with a vengeance: insurance companies, eat your collective hearts out. There will be no more Free software. Or free speech. Or free philosophy, morals... name it. There will be no more free anything. The time to write/phone/email/camp-at-door-
