  Malheurement je ne suis pas membre du caucus du Parti Egalite.

  I believe it is still under study.

  I do have close contact with the chairman of the E.P. constitution
  committee, however, and I will post something on this, bientot.

  I am also planning a public meeting in Verdun where, I hope, a
  high profile E.P. person will come to speak on this subject. I will
  post details if and when this is is confirmed.

 I'm curious too : I believe it is of general interest.

   1) Does anyone have access to the French text of the declaration?
      Est-ce-que quelqu'un as une copie du version francaise de
      cette declaration?

   2) Any member of the race of Lawyers ( :-) ) out there care to
      address this one - please?

*Technically, I suppose, it could be argued that I didn't answer
 this one either.*

  "acquired right"?

  "one of the most...."?
 
  "rest of this great, wonderful, peaceful, non-sexist, non-violent,
   non-racist, non-fascist etc." ... what? - planet?

  Well, he did say: "Pour terminer, je te suggere de modifier ta
  signature pour obtenir ceci: ..." - I suppose that's an admission
  of putting words in my mouth.
