Sorry we let you down.
It doesn't surprise me though. We are very focused on our agendas.

The Obama Administration presents a large field of issues. The only thing I can say so far is that his choice to fill an administration position from the ranks of the RIAA seems at odds with his other choices. The RIAA is very black and white in their thinking. They are reactionary. They are not known to finesse problems, more likely to try to club them to death. That is very unObama like.

I suspect there is a missing #5 that you left out as a kind of test. These issues are important to us but I think we are just too tied up in our little corner of computers and technology to know how to respond to a President who actually wants to hear what we think. At least I would hope he wants to hear what we think. He's the first president that I know of who is at least able to understand the issues and problems technology has created in our culture.
