Dear Colleagues

The message from Kiringai Kamau is a confirmation of the need for much
better data about the economics of society ... not at aggregate levels
with are difficult to relate to anything, but at a level of detail,
the community, where wealth is created by hard work rather than being
obtained by banking, corporate or political thievery.

This situation in Kenya ... political people trying to get control of
a very profitable wealth building system ... and another variant of it
in Pakistan ... not to mention the political ridiculousness of the USA
presidential campaign ... makes me all the more determined to get the
Tr-Ac-Net initiative operational as soon as possible.

Best wishes to all, and especially to people directly affected by the
violent effents we have seen in the news these past few days ... and
frankly, also remembering those affected by violence around the world
and not presently "in the news". Best wishes all.

Sincerely

Peter Burgess
