Excuse me but I think you must have forgotten to mention the human rights activists, teachers, labor union representatives, environmentalists, consumer advocates etc.
These people were invited weren’t they? Surely they wouldn’t hold a conference without many of the most important participants in the economy and society!
After all this is a democracy; isn’t it?

yo, zt:
Your message to God's ear. Apparently the only Being with any supposed "power" who is listening at this point.
I keep thinking of that song by Joni Mitchell about "paving paradise to put up a parking lot" though she doesn't mention the human carnage in that song. But I think of the US killing bulldozer when I think of those words.
On another blogsite someone asked me about the Tupperware company and I suggested that they came to provide the containers for pieces of the big Iraqi pie.
