Seed Keepers

[Allan Balliett <aballiett@frontiernet.net>]

There was a great bit on the history of the "Pollyanna" character on 
NPR a few weeks ago. What was funny was that they said that in 
America "Pollyanna" was seen as a character with more virtue than her 
peers but in Europe, as well as in the intentions of the original 
author, "Pollyanna" was an update of the classic "FOOL" of european 
fairy tales and was a character, if not to be pittied, was at least 
meant to be laughed at!

I hope there is a Pollyanna seed keepers list somewhere for people 
who trust multinational efforts to be in the same vein as seed savers 
used to work in. That way we can all be working towards a common goal.
