I will confirm this. Really an interesting sim thats been created there. Powerfull Images and it wasnt easy to film the palce was packed and there was lag.

The Justice Commons is of great importance and influence. Sl a great Platform for this kind of positive constructive influence. Having this group will be bring great awareness to many people who otherwise would not have had the opportunity to just stop and think about whats really happening out there in the real world. Iv tried to explain to others close to me these possibilities of Sl but still dont get that Virtual worlds as SL used properly can reach an audience that can change the world.
