Dangerous idea?

[Funda Oral]

Doug, sorry I didn't give an answer before .... I realized now that you're
asking something to me.

And Funda, about asking them. I think someone raised that on this list

space?!

Yes it was me...Steve said "why terrorists hate us?"...but I believe we must
be very careful
with these sentences....who are us?...who hates whom? etc...I see many
things that
need to be clarified.

So whenever this is the case in my life...instead of being resentful,
doupful and sceptical.. I go and ask,
I open space for us (me and counter part) to clarify things...and it works

"How would the invitation read? Seriously."

Whom you would send the invitation? if you answer that, then I think of what
can be written there.
