[governance] Time to change direction [ @ 17:47 GMT ]

[Carlos A. Afonso]

While I try to feel the balance of the planetary axis, and after a
couple of glasses of a good red wine I try to feel like Kepler did about
four centuries ago, I wish you all a wonderful 2010!

Yes, and for the crusaders and their sympathizers, Merry Christmas as
well! :)

fraternal regards
