Subject:	How quickly we forget .. the US made the internet., show some respect.
Message:
Not to get political here, but the US created the internet, so before the rest of the world begins to whine about the gTLD's being US-centric, I'd like to remind the world that without the US, there would be no internet at all. So howabout cutting the Americans a small break for letting the world come to *their* playground? let the US have/keep the gTLDs
