What you can do to help this website remain online. This is not operated by a non-profit organization with a board of directors and executives earning large salaries and staff with strong career ambitions. This is kept simple and direct for a reason. Right now we need website page design reviewers & link checkers, writers, an iphone and a working Mac or ipad. Donations are helpful, although not requested because the belief is held that a shoestring budget keeps corruption and egotistical mania far, far away. It is difficult to pay for the domains every year; yet somehow it gets done. Hope is the greatest form of energy. Last word on this topic remains, "let's create the future." Heart of the website
