Dear colleagues,
as regards my previous posting on the Jakarta Conference, I would like to
present to you the following quote by the politically UNcorrect author P.J.
O'Rourke referring to the Rio Summit. I believe it may also apply to the
Jakarta Conference:
>On Friday, June 12, 1992, 110 heads of state gathered at Riocentro. They were
>indistinguishable in dress and deportment. Where was biodiversity when we
>needed it? O'Rourke, P.J. (1994), All the trouble in the world. The lighter
>side of famine, pestilence, destruction and death. Sydney (Picador), 221
Concerned.
