While I agree in sentiment with this, PLEASE understand that not all
"petitions" are false or hoax's. Point in case, I know of a group called
RAWA (Revolutionary Association of Women of Afghanistan -
http://rawa.fancymarketing.net/) and am involved with their cause. There
IS a petition on their web site that I just sent last night to a number
of folk on this very e-list. This group is not fictitious, and indeed do
much work at the risk of their very lives, like teaching female children
to read among other things. Anyone seen "Beneath the Veil" on CNN? It is
quite chilling. Especially when the thought is out there that some
people want the whole word to live this way. Unfortunately hoax's make
their work even harder.

Respectfully
