Senator Abetz, what we are seeing from you is yet one more episode in your never-ending crusade against the Enlightenment! It is about time you joined the 21st century! It is important that the interests of the whole supply chain be recognised.

The more freely and more creatively ideas and research results circulate, the more impact they have. (Time expired)
