ACTA – The facts
For over a year now, 38 countries are conducting secret negotiations which will ultimately affect the lives of hundreds of millions of persons.
Fact 1
The public is very badly informed about the current progress of the negotiations. Even after multiple requests no access to the current drafts has been granted . The extremely shallow information contained in the few leaked documents can not inform anyone willing to dive into the topic.
Fact 2
The public is insecure and the rumour mill is turning.
For any defendant of civil liberties, reading the few leaked information on ACTA, is like reading an abstract of George Orwells 1984. The drafts are talking amongst other things about introducing three-strikes-you-out rules, a liability by the providers and content filters.
The fact that the public is not or solely badly informed by the participants to the negotiations only increases the rumors.

Conclusion
Public opinion and democracy can only function if the interested public has access to sufficent information to form their own opinion. If information is withheld from the public, then the formation of a public opinion is massively hampered, leading to an interference with the democratic order.
The way how these negotiations were and are still conducted leads to one sole conclusion: Stop ACTA!

Woman I know you understand
The little child inside the man
Please remember my life is in your hands
And woman hold me close to your heart
However distance won't keep us apart
After all it is written in the stars

Just a short "Hello" from me to you... have a great day.

Lyrics
Today I don't feel like doin' anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
Cuz today I swear I'm not doin' anything
I'm gonna kick my feet up and stare at the fan
Turn the tv on throw my hand in my pants
Nobody's gon' tell me I can't
I'll be lounging on the couch just chillin in my snuggie
Click to MTV so they can teach me how to dougie
Cuz in my castle I'm the freakin' man
Oooh yes I said it, I said it, I said it cuz I can

Music
Bruno Mars - The Lazy Song

Wish all my contacts a great sunny Sunday.
