Misguided Priorities
As the killings fields of the world rage on, everyone seems to forget about the true fundementals of life. September 8 was International Literacy day. The UN tells us that an estimated 75 Million Children simply get no schooling of any kind at all. For those lucky enough to go to school, they face obstacles every day. Countries seem to be fascinated with arms, conquest and a tendency to prove themselves right instead of wanting to work together for the betterment of all. The need to Educate, insure decent health and a sustainable environment for growth and prosperity is not that big a deal to ask of folks. Yet, it seems that the political leadership in the world today lacks the will to change. When will the world realize the true fundementals necessary for long-term growth and success?
