Micro finance initiatives...

I thoroughly recommend this amazing group called kiva.org which offers small, micro finance, development loans to those in need around the world. Right now i'm helping a Samoan farmer called Faaui Tua build a sustainable market garden for his family and village.

I think this initiative, like those of Muhammad Yunus' Grameen Bank, in Bangladesh, are extraordinary, a model for all of us.

Revolution !!!

Although I'm a British citizen, I fully support Mike Gravel's 'National Initiative for Democracy', which advocates the US people 'taking back' its Government through Constitutional reform. AT LAST a politician with something BIG to say that would actually shake up the mess we're all in. Let's roll this idea out in the UK too and across the planet. Government by the People, of the People and FOR the People !! check out the site:

michael moore & SICKO

I hear from the screening at Cannes that his latest documentary is his best, and perhaps his most important. Hats off to you Michael. I'm with you 100%.
