Ted, re: Patrick Byrne, president of Overstock.com, founded Worldstock in October of 2001 to eradicate global poverty. In August 2003 Byrne hired Neelab Kanishka, an Afghan woman who fled her homeland when she was a child, to manage Worldstock. Unlike traditional charities or relief organizations, Worldstock does not provide handouts. Worldstock contracts with skilled craftspeople in developing countries and helps them establish long-term businesses for selling their products through its Web site (www.worldstock.com, or see the Worldstock tab at www.overstock.com). Now THATS the America that I am so proud of. John
