What the world really needs to do is provide a patron for Michael --
someone or some group to support him so he can do his work for the good
of humanity, much like the patrons of 18th-century artists and
composers. If that sounds farfetched, think about the lasting
importance of the Universal Character Set and the vast amounts of wealth
in the world that are being spent much less wisely.
