What about Johnny Howard and his refusal to Sign the Kyoto 
Agreement.  Yet all OPEC/APEC week he's been pounding the Climate 
Change and Green House Gases line.  Even signing a "principal"

That's it for Climate and Green House gasses.  It's done with 
now.  No need to worry.  A document with no meaning has been 
signed.  Everyone please go home, buy a tank of petrol on the way and 
rev your engines!  We are saved!

Security would be fixed faster.  Operating System updated would patch 
application holes even faster than application developers.  Um.
