The "blank email message" thread evolved into a discussion of differing
world views.  I find some of these very interesting because I get to hear
*directly* from world citizens who speak about what the world looks like
from their perspective.

Here in the US (rant mode on) the "press" only publishes stories that sell
more advertisements.  So we don't often get a good view of what it's like
on the street in Montevideo. Or Sydney. Or where ever.

Here's a first person account of what "life" is like in Chernobyl.

Nothing short of fascinating.  I've seen nothing like this since the
meltdown so many years ago.
