I found it interesting to see, almost for the first time in a geek forum, a discussion about how champions and adoption is a critical issue. Is this what you meant by “politics” Paul?

The “positive deviance” model is about the only one we’ve got at the moment. People who make it work affecting others virally. But what we’re missing compared to child survival is an active plan to take successful implementations and show others how it works and, more importantly, why.

I don’t think the “They’re Americans” bit really meant anything – probably just padding to distract attention from the fact that I didn’t have a more constructive comment.

First… “makes my fists itch” is the best way of describing that “special feeling” kindled by geek-utopianism that I’ve ever heard.

Second… being an American, I don’t understand the “they’re American, you know” line. Which may very well be the point.
