Congratulations, Mel; hope you've found the way to the conscience of our silent, can-do-but-won't minority. Cheers!
I know I feel that too. But I tell you, we who have been gifted with the knowledge of new communications technologies can bring out their feelings and help them express their needs. They are in pain too. Let's give them some allowance, some chance to take small leaps, one at a time. They will emerge as key players in their localities. I have faith in this belief.
