[Taxacom] GENERAL CALL TO BATTLE

[Carlos Alberto Martínez Muñoz]

Dear Paul without a surname:
You might realize that Washington D.C. is just a state in a very big world.
Some might lose sight of the fact that "the rest of the world" is a very
big place, in the light of imperialistic, hegemonic, and geophagic policies
that have lasted for centuries. Some might also realize that I am not a
native English speaker. And some might also realize that stylizing words
with uppercase letters does not imply that anyone is shouting. So, I hope
that you may successfully go through all those "might" and offer your help
and expertise, not to me, but to "the underlying cause you may sympathize
with". I really hope so.
Kind regards,
Carlos
