re: abandoning Kyoto
well dump Kyoto, okay well then where or whats the alternative that the reformers are presenting? do nothing.... the Canada i know and love would have had a better plan or game then in the offing rather than just saying you suck, drop dead, im going home.... my Canada would have said ... yea sure Kyoto was a dud but look here is something that may and will work better... not just sulk and go home and expect everyone else to do the work and to come up with the good or better plan.... my Canada used to be proactive and foresightful, honorable and dignified.... not petty and bullish...and a brat, oh hon pm ? is it okay if i flush the toilet? is it okay to replace that light bulb.... you're the boss after all....
alas but....
here thus are the some goods and plans and budgets on my Canada that may and probably will work better than Kyoto

"Like the joy.... of Love .... when first .... its found....
a simple melody....
will come and go .... and leave you whole....
and flowering ... in new spring....
Chorus;
... sing a song for your lady .... sing a song for your friend
sing a song for those that use you and those that'll do you in...
sing a song for your lady ..... sing a song for your friend...
and you'll hear sweet music .... till the end..."

An introduction to the science and art of perception management.
The phrase "perception management" is filtering into common use as a synonym for "persuasion." Public relations firms now offer "perception management" as one of their services. Similarly, public officials who are being accused of shading the truth are now frequently charged with engaging in "perception management" when disseminating information to media or to the general public.
Although perception management operations are typically carried out within the international arena between governments, and between governments and citizens, use of perception management techniques have become part of mainstream information management systems in many ways that do not concern military campaigns or government relations with citizenry. Businesses may even contract with other businesses to conduct perception management for them, or they may conduct it in-house with their public relations staff.
Perception management is a term originated by the U. S. military. The U. S. Department of Defense (DOD) gives this definition:
Actions to convey and/or deny selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence their emotions, motives, and objective reasoning as well as to intelligence systems and leaders at all levels to influence official estimates, ultimately resulting in foreign behaviors and official actions favorable to the originator's objectives. In various ways, perception management combines truth projection, operations security, cover and deception, and psychological operations.
