Arbitration: used to destroy the US consumer

Without the fortification of a trial by Jury we are ridden like horses, worked like cattle, fleeced like sheep, and fed and clothed like swine.

John Adams said that in 1774. Mr Adams must have had a premonition about the privatization of the justice system that now rules the lives of most Americans. It is our task to warn the consumer and to help him to understand the peril he is now in and the terrible jeopardy his family is living under. We are not stupid but we are very busy and we have been so duped.

and again - if you are interested in some additional research ...

So sorry, I couldn't participate in this for lack of time.

Maybe you can accept this is as a small and belated contribution. Both papers elaborate on the role of trust in ODR. The master thesis develops a definition of trust in general and in the on line environment. I believe, what ebay and generally some markets are very good at, is creating and accruing trust and also borrowing trust. When trust means "positive expectation repeatedly met" and you have n't met before and you are maybe not even likely to ever physically meet - you need borrowed trust in this sense.

Hi - We need to build our community!!!

As many people as we can reach out to, I hope we can attract a broad participation in the IBO contest!

Why Agaric is putting so much effort into InternetBarContest.org

The way we see it, this is a contest about bringing trust to the online world and justice to the whole world.

We hope you'll get involved too.
