I'd like to donate to the silent auction a small bit of OSonOS history--two
Dead Moose Society T-shirts created by Diane Brown for an earlier OSonOS (maybe
in Toronto??).
Looking forward to seeing you in Halifax!

If It's a Muslim Problem, It Needs a Muslim Solution
By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN
Yesterday's bombings in downtown London are profoundly disturbing. In part,
that is because a bombing in our mother country and closest ally, England,
is almost like a bombing in our own country.

Masud,
Thank you for sending the article by Robin Cook.
Here is the paragraph that affected me most :
In particular, it would be perverse if the focus of the G8 on making
poverty history was now obscured by yesterday's bombings. The breeding
grounds of terrorism are to be found in the poverty
For me, I'd like to see a coming together of people who have at least one
historic certainty of economics that they want to question. Background to my
persepctive can be explained in many ways, but this email from London and
friends of www.simpol.org is as clear as any I would need:

All of the dictionaries I looked in have it pronounced as "pan-JEE-ah". Not

Paul,
I think what is most important for me is that although we have never
met in person, I count you as a friend. I count you as someone who has
taught me important things thanks to our common forum, this listserv.
And it means a lot to me that you (and many others) have a willingness
to engage

How can you say that the leaders of the G8 (or your leaders) are not wise?
They wouldn't be in the positions they are in if they were not wise. That
isn't to say that they make no mistakes. They are human. I am 'beyond
baffled' at your shallow comment.
Also, remember that Fahrenheit 9/11

I agree with you on this
My intention was to question economics as a science. The idea behind is
sometimes we forget that
the science should be there to serve us.

I completely agree that there have definitely been much wiser people than
Bush/Blair; however, I think it's 'un-wise' to sit at home and critique and
judge those in power without remembering that we might not be so wise if in
their shoes. I didn't mean to say that simply getting elected makes one
Hey Everyone,
I find this dialogue about wisdom engaging. Are the leaders of the
world's most powerful economies indeed "wise?" Or perhaps more
intriquing, to me at least, do these same individuals possess some
inordinate level of wisdom so as to be deemed wise? Well, I felt the
