The Doha Trade
Talks, Qatar
the electrohippies 2nd WTO Conference
Action
http://www.fraw.org.uk/ehippies/
" People
of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and
diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against
the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It is impossible
indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could
be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice.
But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from
sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate
such assemblies, much less to render them necessary. "
Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations, Book1, Chapter
X, Part II.
The
Doha Conference lasts from November 9th to November 16th. Originally
the electrohippies had not planned an action, but by popular
demand we're providing one. But be aware, this action is a prelude
to the action we were originally planning ó an anti-TWAT
action (The War Against Terrorism) http://www.fraw.org.uk/ehippies/war.html beginning on November
14 th, and with no definite end date. More details on this action
will be revealed on the 13th of November.
