Subject: [Leica] OT: Some of Life's Dumps
From: Martin Howard <howard.390@osu.edu>

I started writing a long message about the issues surrounding effecting
social change and projects in the First World aimed at the Third World.

I threw it away.

Suffice to say that both Tina and Kyle have made very good points, I see the
merit of Nancy's work, and that the LUG is not the correct forum for this
discussion.  Unfortunately, I cannot say that I've abandoned my rather
cynical and despairing view of the tangled matters, and I find many people's
views to be overly simplistic and naïvely optimistic, but this will be my
last message on the subject.  My apologies to anyone I may have offended.

I DO wish the project all the best of luck.

M.
