how about this:

who comes to mind when you think of the most influential voices for democracy in the last fifty years?

is that non-linear enough?

My brother's church is doing similar work in a town destroyed/rebuilt in El Salvador. a hardcore capitalist who learned excellent spanish while working for GE and Caterpillar in Venezuela and Peru, he's been there four or five times, along with his family.
