I agree except that many of those living in extreme poverty really have no clue how most Western societies do live and their dictictorial governments under the the guise of having a "President" don't want them to know or to even get an education, for then they will no longer have any power. It is a flippen mess.....

You know, I was all for globalization when it began thinking that we as a world could really work together as I am a Classicist in my way of thinking where logic and reason goes hand-in-hand with moral and ethical decisions,, but the opposite has occured due to the unethical decisions of those at the top, those who control the workings of it. And it is a sad state of affairs for now the entire world.

Yep those 3 billion people are desperate for change, funny how protests/riots in the UK, Greece, Italy and the US get a lot more attention worldwide. But it is going to get worse if unemployment of young people keeps rising, we will create a lost generation a section of society with absolutely no hope and we all as a country/countries will have to deal with the repercussions of this.
