Justice William O. Douglas had a pithy observation about this:
"As nightfall does not come all at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air — however slight — lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness."
I am aware of an organization you may want to check out for this kind of thing:
The Tanzania Development Support Organization... http://tdsnfp.org
I have been thinking of volunteering for a couple years now, but haven't gotten it together. Apparently there's a need for teaching computer skills, and getting older [donated] machines up and running in classrooms.
I was also with a itsy-bitsy company - computer
staff of 1...me. I had a Cisco router to set up
didn't have a clue. My experience was very much
like Taco's. In fact, that was over three years
ago and I still keep in touch, albeit
infrequently, with the tech who helped me.

How much blacker can the pot get while impugning the kettle's color?
The answer is none. None more black.
Thanks Nigel...it had to be said.
