They are smart, have a sense of humor and play a good round of golf. By the way, his name is George D. Wells, he came over from Scotland and helped build the seminconductor business in Silicon Valley. His book, The American Dream in a Kilt can be found at www.dreaminakilt.com I always learn something from him about people, business or life - a great Scot!

The article you refer to made my blood boil when I read it. Mr Taylor calls for new ways in which the public can engage in consultation with the Government, but when the public DOES take the trouble to get involved in an official Government Consultation, their views are treated with contempt. During the consultation regarding proposals to bring in new laws to deal with Extreme Pornography, over 71% of individuals who replied said they felt there was no need for a change in the law. The consultation itself was extremely biased and misleading, but despite this, the overwhelming majority of those responding put forward well reasoned arguments as to why these proposals would make bad law. Their views have been totally ignored and Labour is pressing on with this, regardless. Please spend a few minutes checking out the background to this on my blog at: http://budgiebird.blogspot.com/ Excellent post.
