Re: [ga] A Monroe Doctrine for the Internet

Well if that is not a silly notion i do not know what is. 
This list does not purport to speak for anyone. That failure of concept of yours is the impediment you have toward moving forward and addressing issues. 
If you truly need help understanding the concepts of; Individual users, dotcommoner, stakeholder, General Assembly, domain name holder and constituency I am sure someone else will have the patience to teach you. No matter what you claim, on this list you only speak for you and i only speak for me. Nobody here represents a country. Nobody here represents an entity or anything else. Nothing about this list purports to speak for all nations. Anyone from any nation is welcome. And if that makes you queasy then you have a very weak fortitude indeed.

But seriously, tyhank youfor your post, I thought I might be alone on here.  The American Jingoism on a list that purports to speak for all nations makes me queasy.

Better check your facts there, pledging money and actually coughing it up are two entirely different matters.

Cough, hack, SAY WHAT? 
 
I do hope you're not claiming the the USA was the first to allow women to vote. 
 
Next you'll be saying the USA was th! e first to split the atom and Henry Ford invented the motor car.
