True, but if people looked at it as a reunion, a revisiting of old times, old friends it might get some to come. In truth, I doubt that the idea will work - as you say people did not appear even when paid to do so. . But if they want to try and fill the Domes, it is all I can think of - other than taking some of the funds stashed in India and paying more Indians to do this. There was once a lot of good will, but it drained away. > Most people know that there is absolutely nothing that > they need to be forgiven *for*. > > > With all due respect Susan, how can you be so sure > > about that?
