[x-pubpol] Why I signed ACTA

[Joly MacFie]

The Slovenian Ambassador to Japan explains why she signed ACTA and how she
values her decision today:

*I signed ACTA out of civic carelessness, because I did not pay enough
> attention. Quite simply, I did not clearly connect the agreement I had been
> instructed to sign with the agreement that, according to my own civic
> conviction, limits and withholds the freedom of engagement on the largest
> and most significant network in human history, and thus limits particularly
> the future of our children.*


*Let my example be a cautionary tale of how swiftly we can make mistakes if
> we allow ourselves to slip. And if nothing else, we then sleep very badly.
