[kictanet] Will thugs rule the web? Beware the UN power grab

[Chip Sharp (chsharp)]

Greetings from Dubai.
Though I can't speak for any delegation here,  I will say that I do not ascribe to the tone of that article.  We are all trying to address many problems and hope to have constructive and respectful dialog.
I look forward to meeting some of you here. :-)

Have a safe journey.

Hi Davis,
Valid points - maybe. The NY Post though is a popular right wing media outlet, and a print version of fox news - in fact they share the same owner. They tend to be (in many ways) anti-UN, anti-liberal/Obama, global warming non-believers and everything else in between. Also like the Sun in the UK (same owner again), they're prone to sensationalist journalism, so I'd take 'most' things they say with a grain of salt.

Regards,
David.

Dear all,

I find this article bothering on hate speech but the guy has some valid points. Judge for yourself.
