Re: [atlarge-discuss] For the sake of transparency: Nominators

[Eric Dierker <eric@hi-tek.com>]

It is easy to understand the lack of acceptances.  It is brutal at best and 
there is no chance of success at worst.
However there is a wonderful sense of exchange of ideas growing here which 
is important.  We need only see visions of marches in Iraq to realize new 
found freedoms come with complications of leadership.

We are starting an Internet Cafes concept for developing companies, most 
notably at the moment Iraq in order to present these idea of understanding 
as we express here.Please remember where the concept is money to return 
persons to their origin to help developing countries
http://www.tokten-vn.org.vn/introduction.html

The continuing idea here is that we return to a place with our wisdom and 
original goals to help a people, our people.  We can do the same here.
I would hope that would be our main purose in this group.
