    Could it be that the .XXX application was just as
    big a sham as ICANN is ?

    Could it be that there was really no intent to
    promote the .XXX TLD, but instead to expose ICANN
    and engage the now cash-rich ICANN .NET Registry
    into a lawsuit ?

    Could it be that .XXX is really backed by ANTI.XXX
    people who know that a poorly executed process
    will help to KILL .XXX, which is their real agenda ?

    Could it be that people want to expose the fact
    that ICANN ignored .KIDS and .WEB and grabbed
    for the big money opportunities ?

    Could it be that .XXX is just one of many ways
    to get MORE people involved and aware of the
    travesty of the Internet Society and their
    Soviet-like, deal-making behind the scenes ?

    Could it be that a positive outcome will be that
    MORE people will become educated and made aware
    of the corruption that someone like Vinton Cerf
    is allowed to perpetuate, un-checked ?

    Could it be that people want to test the claims
    the U.S. Government makes about being the land
    of opportunity and a place with a level playing
    field ? Could .XXX be just one of many rock-slides or pot-holes on that field ? Will the U.S.
    Government have the ability to clean up the
    toxic waste dump called ICANN ?

    [Reference to. XXX at beginning and Right Wing / Left Wing referance at end of post, Re: ... There were some subtle hints for Icann & Registries in this saga of .Inc If they continue on the path set now, they'll have: the Left and the Right upon them. ...]
