<DIV><BR></DIV>Oh Ted at first I didn't get it, but now that you have shed
light on the issue, I get it - you mean people like George Soros and
organizations like the Tides Foundation, the Shadow Party and the Open Society
Institute. <BR><BR>One thing I noted about the <B><I>Foundation for a
Better Life</I></B> that tends to separate that org from many others was their
non-reliance on outside funding (they don't accept donations) and they don't
provide grants or other funding to other agencies.<BR><BR>For me, Paul R was
right on point - the values promoted transcend the politics, the acrimony and
the rhetoric so often a part of our human dialogues.<BR><BR>Hopefully all of
the "friends" on the V will appreciate the posting of the values as a means of
self examination and community enhancement - nothing less, nothing
more.<BR><BR>Happy holidays to all of you - for whatever reason you use for
celebration. <BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>
