Subject: All politics is local, even in virtual communities.

In a recent exchange,
A "sky is falling!!!" mystery guest hiding behind:
lists@...elabs.org, wrote

"...BS. This is exactly what they want you to think. 
Just about every 'war' since WWII has been scripted by 
the CIA (and friends) to scare you into giving up your 
rights in the name of national security, have an excuse
for taking over foreign countries and commiting 
genocide, fuel racism, and continue their quest for 
world domination. Or am I just paranoid...  "

to which,
"Schmehl, Paul L" <pauls@...allas.edu> replied:

"I don't need you to give *me* your answer.  I'm 
struggling with the same > questions myself."

"Sky" answered:

"The answer is for the masses to learn the truth so we 
can hold the governments and international corporations 
accountable (according to international law) for their 
actions. "

Now, I, considering myself fairly rational, grounded,
and intelligent (if ignorant of many aspects of 
computer security) must ask:

Hey, "Sky", assuming the masses learn the truth, as you 
define it,
1. Who is the "we" you refer to?
2. who, exactly, enforces this "international law" that
you refer to??

(Assuming the answer to #2 is the aforementioned "we",

3.  With what weapons do "we" force the governments and 
international corporations to stand trial, where, and 
before what court???

3.  Where is this "international law" codified, so that
"the masses" can find it, study it, and become 
enlightened; so that properly energised, "we" organize
and demand that "they" redress their previous outrages 
and promise to behave in the future???

I eagerly await your answers!
