As any long-time observer has noted, this entire topic has not attracted 
wide-spread interest, in spite of extensive press coverage.  So it is not 
surprising the the bulk of the participants are from a financially

We need to remember that not all those distant travelers are funded by 
others or are lobbyists.

We also need to remember that local cultures vary and few places produce

other countries.)  The less aggressive participants are still valuable to 
the process.
