graziano, you are great... just great.

thank you by heart.

the designer and me were not as intelligent.

well, i was fired by the bloody ngo because i discovered the president 
was playing with public money... so...

let's make also a big campaign against ngo, they are making the business 
of the century !!!

i mean it, graziano, the idea is great and i'm sorry that i'm not in a 
good ngo -i don't know which one- to do it.

do you know some?

i sent my cv to greenpeace, but...

... i keep waiting, i probably will go to dublin to find a good job. 
spain stinks.

i don't feel guilty because it was not a lie, we give the numbers right,
we don't give ALL the numbers... just some of them, as most people do.

... but still i agree we weren't as intelligent as you.

gracie,
