You should live in a Third World country, my dear!!! You can't imagine what
misery, lack of perspectives and twisted religious conceptions can do to
one's self-esteem. I myself, as a middle class Brazilian, have two
contradicting reactions: I either fulminate the person with disaproving eyes
( meaning to say: Stand up for your rights, you a......!) , or feel terrible
for a long time thinking how could that be avoided!

I agree with you again! Not a long ago there was a campaign here for the
Rainforest, which I complained about, but it was not as a principle, but
regarding that very specific campaign. Maybe ( it just occurred to me ), the
person should send e-mails only to those on the list he/she has had previous
private contact only. Those would send them over to their previously
privately contacted co-listers and so on. But I still think there are causes
that deserve to be heralded, for our own benefit.
