  1. Hello,
    Could your organization possibly make a Gap minder presentation showing the taboo information on the Afghan war documents recently leaked to wiki leaks. In so much that those with much power would surrender to communities and their ideals of love. Computers show us when information moves fast enough; it becomes control.
