Strangely it is not that I agree with your statements but neither disagree at least in the terms that you're an activist in that struggle. Disagree though in what one should expect from governments, we do give us our votes, don't we ? Well, that may sound na?ve but it's the starting point, beyond that we, the people, must ask, show, manifest, must demand our governments to go for what we gave our votes for. And thanks for posting those links, I'm interested so will be going over there as soon as I get some film scanned. Hopefully will be back to you right after reviewing all or some of those sites. regards Pablo PS: by the way, doctors without frontiers... I did some pictures for them too, it's called M?dicos sin Fronteras this side of the planet. images@comporium.net wrote: > I agree, Pablo, but I don't think we can depend on governments or > industry to do what is right.
