[snip] I received the following e-mail from a Swede who prefers to be anonymous: ************************** Dear Jon, You may forward this to a.r.s if you want. You can make all corrections of the language you prefer without asking me. Observe: 1. He says the Parliamentary NOTs are not forgeries. 2. He CC the Chancellor of Justice (with his title wrong translated to English), but of course excludes to tell, that the Chancellor also considers the NOTs to be public common papers. But he quotes "the Svea Court" (Lower Court of Appeal), which has temporary classified the NOTs as part of Zenon's civil lawsuite. 3. Mr Hirschfeldt is no more Chancellor of Justice. (He is in fact President of the "Svea Court" since six months.) 4. The usefullness of public common papers. Long live our offentlighetsprincip! ****************** A congressman, Mr. Carlos J. Moorhead, has written to Madam Speaker Birgitta Dahl, demanding her to break with the Swedish Constitution. He is chairman of the Subcommittee on Courts and Intellectual Property. She is Speaker of the Swedisk Parliament, and in that capacity also responsible for the administration of the Office of the Chamber. Mr. Moorhead writes with words obviously drafted by some lawer for the Co$ or RTC: "If our positions were reversed, and the U.S. Congress were infringing the copyrights and violating the religious sensibilities of a Swedish citizen, I am confident you would demand that I take corrective action." If the situation was reversed, a member of the Swedish Parliament ("riksdagsman"), quotiong his position as Chairman of the Committee on Law ("Lagutskott") would write a letter to Mr. Speaker Newt Gingrich, asking him to violate the U.S. Constitution in order to satisfy a shady Swedish lawyer in her desperate fight to avoid a collapse of her legal position in a Swedish civil lawsuit. That, and nothing else, is the correct and pedagogical reversal. Of course such a letter to Mr. Gingrich would only cause some sort of National Laugh, and bring to fore the question of the mental capacity within the "Lagsutskott" of the Swedish Parliament. ****************** (end of forwarded e-mail) -- OmniMedia Electronic Books | URL: http://www.awa.com/library/omnimedia 9671 S. 1600 West St. | Anonymous FTP: South Jordan, UT 84095 | ftp.awa.com /pub/softlock/pc/products/OmniMedia 801-253-4037 | E-mail: omnimedia@netcom.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Join the Electronic Books Mailing List (EBOOK-List) Today!
