(from a message to F., a librarian in Africa)

F. thank you! I have now joined the cause "Implement Waki Report now" on Facebook, and invited some of my Facebook friends to follow my example. This is only a very small and purely symbolic gesture, of course. I am glad that Obama won. Hopefully, the power of the American people will increase in the American federal state. However, the larger society of mankind remains without any democratic power. For instance, we were not allowed to vote for Obama. But that is as good, because we should not be longing for a President of the world. What we need to build, on the other hand, is the world's public library. This process has started, the internet is the beginning of it, and one of its corner-stones. I write the internet with a small initial letter, because it is already an everyday phenomenon, and common property.

Rauhaa ja rakkautta (peace and love in Finnish)
