May 17th is also World Information Society Day. So how is it relevant to IDAHO? The advent of the internet has made a major global contribution as a avenue to bring awareness and advocacy against all forms of inhumanity and intolerance.

"The main objective of the day is to raise global awareness of society changes brought by the Internet and new technologies. It also aims to help reduce the Digital divide."

Humm... There was an anti-facism protest in my tiny town of Teltow yesterday.. from what I could gather it appeared to be sponsored (at least in part) by the communist party of Potsdam. I thought it was strange, until I read this. Now it all makes sense... in a twisted way.
