[Fsf-friends] Fwd: [en] Caracas Declaration

Fri Aug 7 21:49:02 IST 2009

Dear Santhil, I forgot many important things in my mail.

India is a case I don't know. As i said I don't speak any of your languages :( 
even if I love your country. India is the country where I'll like to live.

Anyway let me tell that for us south-americans where i know how things are, we 
need to thanks the left wings.

In India I don't know, I can not, it is too far from me. For that was my mail 
to Nagarjuna too. Then.... I ask to you sincerly excuses to not have 
explained that before.

Take my answer as a south-american answer. Things can be the same or the 
opposite. Maybe we can hear more opinions.

regards
juan
