[NCUC-DISCUSS] Events

[Edward Morris]

All,
  
  
 Thoughts and prayers with Patrick, Caroline, Monique,. and their organisations, as well as Divina, JFC, Jean, Jean-Jacques, Mohammed, Patricia and all off those with ties to France, and indeed all of us with ties to humanity, as they / we process the latest senseless act of violence against France and, indeed, against the world. 
  
 The great potential of the internet is that ass a global communication media it can be used to help bring peace, tolerance and understanding to all of us, one by one, and in doing so build a world with those values writ large. Noncommercial speech, unhampered by special or commercial interests, is absolutely essential in helping all of us to overcome our own personal frailties and prejudices and create true forums that bring people together to achieve true harmony, rather than other forms of speech that may tend to divide us into false categories of us versus them, create wants disguised as needs, and provoke disharmony among those who all share a common humanity.  We should never forget that basic truth about the power and potential of the internet and should never stop trying to help create a structure through which it will really be possible to achieve these worthy goals.
  
 Today is a sad day but the people of France, of the Europe, of the world, will overcome this attack upon us all, upon humanity itself. We must.
  
 Vive la France, Vive vive la liberté!
  
 Best,
  
 Ed
