Yep, it doesn't go far enough - even if all countries did everything in the accord we wouldn't change anything. If this was a business setting, a proposal like this would be laughed out of existence. Somehow, when it is a Dem&#x2F

A couple of thoughts come to mind when I read this paragraph: 1. If there is meat in her story, I am sure there are multiple lawyers who will be willing to work for a share of the settlement - i.e. she never pays out of pocket. 2. It seems
