This is the dirrection, in my opinion, that we have to push for. The large institutions need to be divided up, as was done in America and elsewhere.rickismomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07817042750959998664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-34178537053249223632009-07-12T05:41:43.172+03:002009-07-12T05:41:43.172+03:00Thanks
