Dear Mr Searle,

I do not seem to recall the e-mail from Norman
Kurland.  But I received an e-mail from
wesburt at juno.com  which is reproduced below:
     
Dear Ram Prasad,

My thanks to Robert Searle for posting your 
message, forwarded below, to Discussion Forum 
for Global Justice.  Your insightful exposition 
of the total indifference to the requirements for
iDevelopment, of 
folks
who promote eDevelopment;
is the best statement of the problem I have seen 
in recent years on the Internet.  I had begun to 
believe that the topic was taboo in the US, and 
not mentioned in the media or in the literature, so 
I am pleased to hear it being discussed in India.  

If indifference is the correct word for the attitude 
of corporate and government officials who are 
driving the process of globalization, they must be
forgiven for the 
harm
they do, and taught how to 
optimize the whole socioeconomic system and 
keep the whole system efficient and sustainable.

My own inquiry into the common practice of 
under funding iDevelopment, is summarized 
on the attached file; Fig12m.gif.  I have taken 
the liberty of adding your name and your two 
dialectically opposite forms of development, in 
the only space remaining on Fig12.  I hope you 
find it acceptable and helpful.  We need to 
restore the equal sign between iDevelopment 
and eDevelopment in every nation to stabilize 
the global economy in a sustainable mode.

The essential point of the chart is to show how 
long eDevelopment has been promoted, and by 
whom, at the expense of iDevelopment.  In my 
view, the Founding Fathers of the US put the 
emphasis on iDevelopment for an agrarian society 
from 1789 through 1898.  From 1898 to date, it has 
been eDevelopment for an industrial society all 
the way, so the US has been losing its moral high-
ground for more than a century.   

Kindly comment,

Wes Burt
