US Treaty With Tripoli 1796-97:
Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

Life Support: Let the children go on foot and on bike:
In 1972, 87 percent of children who lived within a mile of school walked or biked daily; today, just 13 percent of children get to school under their own power, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In a significant parallel, before 1980, only 5 percent of children were obese; today that figure has tripled, says the CDC.

Seeker has some great shots of the cross-sim jump that i’ built in kula 3 almost 15 months ago…. he has a great review. He didn’t try …. the 4 corners jump that takes you over the colloseum, but that is almost impossible now… with the Creative Commons sim under construction. The goal there is to jump from kula 4 to kula 2…. it was way cool.

A Machinima Peek at Global Kids Islands – Second Life Insider:
The Teen Grid, however, inspired me. Most of the content on the islands is teen created. For example, for the one year birthday of Global Kids, they held a contest where you could win 1000L for designing the best birthday cake. Ryan Dayton actually made a surprising amount of the content, so I definitely look forward to seeing what he can do on the Main Grid.

This should inspire and awaken everyone to the possibilities of second life for cosmopolitan change. These ‘kids’ are awesome and the globalkids project is clearly one of the best demonstrations of the possibilities of secondlife for the future. They bring kids together to learn and work together, to make the world and have fun.
