Re: [ga] Capture by a Self-interested Faction

Roberto and all,

  I believe Danny and Karl were trying to get you to state your
position as it stands now. If you are reluctant to say so, I for
one can understand the many reasons you don't wish to say
at this time.

  It may be that Bill O'Riley at Fox news will also have a
problem with "O.com" being given to the Irish Registry,
after all he has a more legitimate right to be given "O.com"
than the Irish Registry, and as I am fairly sure the Holly See
will as well, as some of Ireland is Protestant .  Of course as
Bill is a good catholic, I am sure he would donate "O.com"
to the Vatican...  Otherwise let us hope and pray the
Irish Registry is a Catholic owned and managed Registry
as well as being sufficiently reverent.
