I firmly believe that most of our problems are figments of our individual and collective imaginations. That may be true for upper-middle-class Americans. It is a good deal less true for many others. Is Africa's AIDS problem a figment of the imagination? How about the problems of the tens of millions of people around the world who live under the sway of petty tyrants who rob and abuse them at every turn? I suspect that the world is a good deal more complex a place than you would like to believe. You may "GO" all you like, but you are fooling yourself if you think that your going is going to generate any real service to the rest of the world. I live in a developing country which suffers from a deluge of upper middle class white-skinned New Age mushytalkers from the US and Europe, all babbling on about "service", and "appropriate technology", and "human development", and dozens of other catchphrases which mean absolutely nothing to the local poor. The truth is that they are serving nothing but their own egos. One hard-nosed businessman who comes here to make a profit, opens a factory, and creates jobs does more good for this country than the whole lot of them combined.
