I have had some dealings with universities and academics in Africa and people
working in Africa. It is appalling how little they have in the way of basic
books even, never mind technology. We're talking about lack of even
the bare necessities even in basic books and equipment to fulfill
their needs at the present moment - to get them to the next
step, which is managing their own affairs - it's still a long
a long way from that to development. There are ways to make
donations (it's being done in EE right now, to good effect) of technology that
can help the movement towards development. Don't let your ideology
get in the way of common sense.

I think I told this before...hell, I repeat myself all the time.

I was in a philosophy class, Hunter College in the Bronx, Aesthetics,
Dr. Nicolas Capaldi, M-W-F, 1:10-2:00 pm.  At 1:55, the door opened
and this guy wearing a lab coat (we were nowhere near the science
labs) stared in at Capaldi and motioned him over.  Capaldi, who always
had this kind of Olympian attitude, turned around, back toward us, and
looked sick.  Someone said "President Kennedy was shot in Dallas."  I
walked back toward the Student Center with a guy who blurted out "I
hope whoever did it isn't Jewish."

First time I ever saw adults outside my family cry, and in public,
yet...

I wonder how they felt on Guy Fawkes day.

Well, some are sending in Bibles by the truckload.  No one pushes them on
anyone; the people come looking.  For all I know, though; they may be using
the paper to roll cigarettes.:-)  Then too, any book's interesting when there
aren't that many floating around.  And this one's been all but banned - maybe
it's the Russian equivalent of Leaves of Grass.

When there's a void in peoples' lives, they try to find something to fill

is coming out of the closet too.  Heck, a free Bible, Book of Mormon, Quran,
whatever, is cheaper than vodka.:-/

Word Perfect 5.1 and a laser printer with good graphics drivers.
I'm not sure if 5.1 for Windows allows her to see it in the Cyrillic.
The display on the regular program isn't great, and she'd have to

There's an interesting story behind that book (admittedly rather cheesy;
sort of like a nightmare version of an Amelia Peabody without the
intentional humor).  Anne Rice was originally commissioned by one of the
networks to write a story for a miniseries; _The Mummy_ was the result.
The network backed out at some point, so she re-worked it into a book.
Now there's talk of it being made into a miniseries... I don't know if
it's the same network or not.

I think she made the best of a bad thing, but I enjoyed that book less
than her others.

Ruth, conflict is not necessarily bad, even when unpleasant. Often,
new understandings can arise. My objection to your commentary was that
is was terribly demeaning and insulting, from oudda da bloo. You may
feel that you were unfairly attacked, but you finally--I'm sure 
unintentionally and without malice--pushed one button too many.
My point, beneath the stridency, was that some groups and *personal*
choices are condemned and must be confronted daily. You may not be the
"bad guy," but--perhaps without so-intending--your words and rationale were
among the most common reasons raised for judging, denying basic human
dignity and basic rights. I, for one, had/have no intention of trying to
change your beliefs. On the other hand, I am not willing to passively
allow what I perceive to be insults to pass, especially when they
feed stereotypes and reinforce reasons for denying some groups the
rights others take for granted. You see the difficulty of fighting for
a few days. Some are confronted with these conflicts everyday of
their lives. I see this as a political, not a religious issue. You
obviously don't agree with my own view that people have the right to
engage in their private lives without external interference, which
is fine. But when public judgments about my private life are made,
you can bet there will be a response.

To be fair, it's not all British who say such things. It's a restricted set,
called the Chaps or the Chappies. In India, people are sometimes enraged that
the Chaps tried to convert India into a Chap heaven, nice little Chap houses
and Chap clubs dotting the vast background of a subservient non-Chap population.
They don't realize that this is what the Chaps probably did in Britain, too.

Chap views on Indians were probably more entertaining than Chap views on
Americans. For instance, here are two Chaps on pre-independence Indians :

C1: Dash it all, that fellow is at it again!
C2: Whom do you allude to, old chap?

C2: Jolly good fellow, every single one of them.

I voted Concerned Citizens in our Senate race, because both the Democrat and
the Republiacn were totally scummy and pro-choice.:-)   If I say that the
incumbant is Chris Dodd, a close buddy of Ted Kennedy, that should give
you some idea.<sour face>  If he and Ghengis Kahn were on a ballot together,
I'd vote Mongol.  Of course, some people would say that a Concerned Citizen's
candidate is exactly that, but at least he was honest about it.:-)

Who won down your way, Karen?  Republican scum or Democratic scum?
