I have read some Ubuntu stuff and I believe they actually have a workable plan. I'd like to see their "one small town" program gain some traction. What is going on in Nigeria with government is horrible and it doesn't even make the news here. We have plenty of our own problems in the US that don't make the news here so not hearing about Nigeria doesn't surprise me.
I found that Sky News is a good source of information on US stuff and they are based out of Australia. It's really sad that a country like the US that has constitutional protections for the press to be "free" and they won't report important things happening in our own back yard.
Have a good weekend Lizelle,
