 thank you for your kind words and attempts to educate.  clearly these items are
 critical for North American Network Operations (NANOG) and should be widely promoted
 and discussed ...  But NOT, I think, here.

 may i humbly suggest that there exist other, better fora for discussion of these specific
 issues and ways/means to address them;

 Aleviating HUNGER
 Global Peace - where none take offense
 Exploitation of the helpless
 Definition of rights, both human and non-human.

 I would like to point you here:  http://www.un.org/en/rights/  which actually has the charter
 to work on the issues that are so pressing in your mind.

 Can we kill this thread (oh dear, i'm advocating violence again...) and get back to Network
 Operations?  Please?

This isn't a real issue.  HUNGER is a real issue.  WAR is a real issue.  
12 year old girls being sold for $20 into SLAVERY in India is a real 
issue.  TERRORist attacks on embassies are real issues. Expansion of 
POLICE power is a real issue.   Erosion of human and civil RIGHTS are 
real issues.  This is window dressing.  I've highlighted the important 
words for you, and for emphasis, because obviously you don't get it.

I really wish people would get over themselves and get to work.
Work is a place where things get done, not where people piss and
moan about every single perceived slight they can come up with.

I only wish you had used 'guys' instead of 'people' :)
