if you ever see some guy named Sarkozy trying to sell you some democracy

[I taught 'im everysing I know.]

there's this guy named Sarkozy, right?
Sounds like a joke name @sarc. Get it?

Well, he says he's the Prez of that French country. what's it called?

He says the Internet should not replace democracy.
Democracy?
Where the F%^*(k is that?
what place on the planet is that?
would somebody please look under some rocks.
All I see is oligarchies.

And I hear he takes cold hard cash, in his pocket,
from greying, tax-dodging bitches.

Thank you Sarkozy.
You're mighty helpful.

Sarkozy opens 'historic' forum on future of internet in runup to G8

However, Sarkozy warned the internet could not be allowed to become a "parallel universe" or a replacement for traditional democracy.

"You have given every individual the chance to be heard everywhere by anyone. People have never had this chance before in history, but that right cannot be held by destroying the rights of others.

"Total transparency has to be balanced by individual liberty. Do not forget that every anonymous internet user comes from a society and has a life."

He added: "Governments are the legitimate guardians of our societies and do not forget this."

He said leaders of state had to learn how the internet could be used "to reinforce democracy, social dialogue and solidarity" and to create a "more efficient state". However, he said, "we have to make sure that the universe that you are responsible for is not a parallel universe outside laws and morals"....
