Richmmond, you are describing a society of living dead.
In the world where we are living too many people do not
understand that the state of wealth in which they live is
a consecuence of specific actions and attitudes from
previous and actual generations... not a natural event,
like rain, wind or sun or an entitlement or birth right.
A city just have to run out of water, energy or jobs,
to awake their habitants of their pleasant state.

Returning to the title of this thread:
How did goes your classes to teach LiveCode to a
group of your English students???

Did they concluded with sucess?

Any chance to read a detailed account of their
learning process???
