Fina's Cornelius at top of TOTAL FI

Subject: Re: Fina's Cornelius at top of TOTAL FINA-Elf

On second thought, just to spell it out, the award ceremony to embarrass
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and her late husband into accepting the award, was
obviously a planned coherent strategy on the part of Cornelius and his
PetroFina gang at the university. Perhaps it came from the strategy
planners in Paris, as it is similiar to the parallel strategy of 
business is business but business will follow the politics if the
politics says no business in burma, and for now, politics does not say
that. so one one hand, they do business, on the other, the govt and the
people scream about human rights, or wink at them, while the business
and award ceremonies go on...

its heart-rendering to see the birma tourist campaign in belgium getting
some sourly needed support from the belgium political factions.
