[ga] Many subjects cross sub-list lines

[Eric Dierker <eric@hi-tek.com>]

Here is an example of a problem which we need help with in both
education and making the sub-list structure work.

Please add as further importance the USG putting dotUS out for bid.  We
must be cognizant of the fact that governments are really very good at
avoiding wars (collisions).  I would not expect the USG to attack the
Verisign Monopoly - ICANN consortium with missiles. I would expect them
to supply the competitors with advisors, supplies and opportunities to
make a war unattractive to both sides. The only problem with this
Kissinger model is escalation.
