Dear Leon and all, this morning I got the link about your page through the yahoo-group fightingpeacefully. I am Palestinian and I do understand very much the need for the culture of sharing in all our life domains. Yesterday I cam from Open-Translation-Conference in Amsterdam. There I had the idea about how can Translation change the wag we used to look on economics and open the way for sharing and participating. http://ott09.aspirationtech.org/index.php/Translation_Projects_in_Participatory_Economics I think we can change the way we used to know free market economics if we manage to develop mechanism to include as much people as possible in the decision making process and ownership ! Thanks for the good work! Wael
