INFORMAVORE's SUNDAY No. 454

Dear Readers and Friends,

Please help this old but NOT tired publication, specalized
in serious information to get to the serious masses everywhere!
PLEASE form a habit to read the newest issue. It is really
information abundance in this strange world, but just try
to find selected information about the essential problems!
As long as I will be functional I will try to offer you good
and useful and constructive and educative info.
I don't want to save the world- just to stop a bit the monsters
of ignorance, the great Lies, destructive fairy tales for  adults.
INFORMAVORE's SUNDAY is a weapon.

Peter
