i'm glad that article was helpful!
maybe we should set up a small database (or at least a link list) with
(reliable) info in as many languages as possible.
i remember a colleague looking for something in vietnamese language
and what we found on the web was, well, in vietnamese, so we could not
really trust the information in it and the only other source was a dvd
from australia which would have cost us a fortune....
i'm still planning to learn the arabic language as it's a kind of
lingua franca at least for muslim countries, i still remember this
really interesting encounter when i worked with refugees and my 14ys
old apprentice from sierra leone and a 40ys old woman from lebanon
found out that they spoke the same language....
not their first, but hey! both illiterate.
and for your neighbour, flo: she's a canadian as well now. wo her milk
is as canadian as yours ;-)
bye, nina

Because the Medieval Church, with the support of kings, princes and
secular authorities, controlled medical education and practice, the
Inquisition constitutes, among other things, an early instance of the
"professional" repudiating the skills and interfering with the rights
of the "nonprofessional" to minister to the poor. -Thomas Szasz, The
Manufacture of Madness-
