I don't know how to express it without making anyone defensive, which I don't want to do, because I do feel that people have the very best intentions. Nor do I want to stand in the way of progress.
For my part, as an American, as someone without specialized fields of knowledge applicable to ET's projects and who largely prefers ET for its salon-type atmosphere (Magnifico's "the democratization of ideas") - I can't see a practical place for my contributions in the ideas which have been discussed. I also respect that ET has no obligations to accomodate any one of us.

So, while I think we're not asking to be accommodated, I would still like to be included some how.
I simply don't believe that's the intention. I remain confident that they will not destroy the village in order to save it and so when all is said and done this place will be around much as we know it now.
Besides which, right now McCain is talking about being out of Iraq by 2013. Talk's easy. keep to the Fen Causeway
