Re: Payments activity - any point to our time and effort?

Well China has a different system of government. I wonder how they treat
people who contribute.

Don't think we need a Magna Carta for the web, or a earth passport. We need
apple and the others to start issuing them, I'm sure they'll be able to
update the readers, after all, court orders - meh, design software that
invalidates the requests and squash the alternatives...

New world order. Only $899 for the updated deluxe appendage, and after
$40pcm, your able to start thinking about the human rights of children or
whatever you think is important.

So very, very frustrated.

Anders, always good to chat. Don't always agree, but have always considered
you a contributor.
