[Offtopic] computer game about africa

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Sounds like a great idea Bill,.

Last week I listened to "The Race Against Time", the first of the 2005
Massey lectures by humanitarian Stephen Lewis. On the drive home with
my family, it was heartbreaking to hear that the international
community was using the weapon of economic rationalism to destroy
African medical and social systems, opening the floodgates of poverty
and aides. The first audio lecture can be listened to online.

Count me in where you see fit.

Regards Roland

PS: Can I cross post your call for participants to the QLD lists?
