[QUOTE="JimJimmyJames, post: 680549, member: 11425"] Very interesting video. While I do agree with the premise that first world manipulations of third world economies have detramentally effected said economies, I also have to give thought as to how much responsibility these countries must own up to for the state they find themselves in. If something is imposed on people through the barrel of a gun that is one thing, but being conned into your own demise is another. In other words, how much should rubes be responsible for being swindled by carnies? Carnies, ofcourse, should be ashamed of themselves...but heck, they are carnies after all. Must not the rube admit to the fact that he is indeed a rube? In the vein of this conversation, here is a link to two articles that consider the continuing tragedy that we call Africa: I am not saying I completely agree with any of the three links I posted in this thread. I don't. But I think we must honestly consider the propositions they suggest even though it may be quite uncomfortable to do so. [/QUOTE]
