ImitationSanen, I am likewise grateful that you have been understanding of my overzealous ideal to end poverty. International development is something that few people understand well, but is one of the things I am most passionate about. Being able to learn from each other is the best possible outcome that can come about at an online forum such as this. I think your love for your country is an awesome thing, because it will motivate you to work to improve your country and not just settle for the status quo or be satisfied with policy decisions you feel go against the core values your nation was founded on. We're all taught to look out for ourselves first, but more and more these days, the gaps are getting smaller and we are all finding ourselves to be citizens of a global community. What nature this global community will take on, I'm not to sure since it's still changing and evolving. All we can do is what we think is best.
