144. Maybe you should go live in Rwanda. Why is it that when we are interested
in oil, or building a pipeline, or some other natural resources a country has - we suddenly become all interested in the lives of the indigenous people there & decide we must "fix" them?

There are many, many areas of the earth where people are living lives that we might consider less than perfect. But we don't talk about those areas because there's nothing we want there.

This has been going on for centuries in this country.
