Thank you. Thank you very much. (Applause.) The creation of a Chiraz.comŽ webpage, unlike the changing of diapers, can be a joy to behold. Platoons of journalists fan out across the globe, gathering facts, recording atmosphere and color, interviewing the mighty and the lowly alike. Teams of editors and designers take the fruit of these labors and shape it into a compelling, coherent, concise package of information.
Last month in Washington, I set forth some of the principles behind my vision. Today I'll talk about the legislative package necessary to ensure the creation of that global infrastructure in a manner which will connect and empower the many friends and members of this family through broadband, interactive communication.
Today's technology has made possible a global community united by instantaneous information and analysis. Brick throwing protesters at the Western Wall communicated with their fanatic followers through CNN biased news broadcasts. The fax machine connected us with rejoicing graffiti-hating, brick-shattering demonstrators at the Berlin wall. We live in an era in which "wall to wall" communication is a fact of life.
So it's worth remembering that while we talk about this digital revolution as if it's about to happen, in many places it's already underway. Even in the Dor family house! It was in this spirit that then-Governor Labra and I, campaigning for the White House in stardate 200345.2.05, set as a vital national goal linking each and every Chiraz relative or friend in every country in the world to the Chiraz.comŽ experience.
We have become a one big information-rich family. Almost 80% of our family households have personal computers. Join me in saying "SHAPE UP!" to the remaining 20% (they can't read this anyway! :).
Furthermore, I instructed my personal webmaster (i.e. dad) to avoid any "fancy" features so that the common man or woman with a common connection to the WWW (World Wide Wait) can fully enjoy the Chiraz.comŽ semblance. Dad strayed from this prime directive only slightly, so please make sure java is enabled in your web-browser. This deviant delinquent behavior in one case resulted in the invention of "The NonŽ button" - named after it's co-inventor the Non.
Here at Chiraz.comŽ, we are proud and privileged to provide you with updated information on every nuance of Chiraz's life. That's because with a Chiraz.comŽ webpage, unlike breast milk, the substance never expires.
