Apology and/or Retraction: This article was not written in an attempt to
trivialize the seriousness of Virtual-Worlds technology. It is also not an
attempt to get businesspeople to consider this technology to be a short step
to a quick buck. It would help those hardworking people in the University of
Washington if SCI.Virtual-Worlds was established, as well as if the
businesspeople of the world would look towards a long-term goal that would
win much public support rather than the more common desire for short-term
gains. (please don't flame, in no way am I inferring or implying that ALL
business people care only about short-term gains.) Thank you for your time
and remember, a vote for SCI.Virtual-Worlds is a vote to advance the condition
of the human race, and our knowledge as well. Perhaps we will even think of
people before $$$$$$.
