I suppose the thought is that some level of support is better than none, but I wonder if ever in history there has been an example of a government changing policy in response to a petition. Surely, if people keep the rhetorical form, it must have had some success. And yet I can't think of any. Maybe Amnesty keeps a tally?
And above the petition, an ad by Google, "Date Sexy Arab Girls"...! What a world. David Ritchie, Portland, Oregon On Dec 11, 2007, at 8:44 AM, Judith Evans wrote:
