28. South America gives me hope for the future. They were in so much worse shape

than we are, it seemed almost impossible for them to gain their independence from the brutal Global Capitalists who kept them oppressed for so long.

But in just one decade it has been so inspiring to watch country after country in that region of the world, take control of their own destinies. Of course that has angered the old Globalists who seem to believe that resources everywhere, belong to them.

Chavez, Morales among others will probably go down in history for making this possible.

More encouraging is the holding to account the war criminals after so many decades. It just shows that we should never give up on holding our war and economic criminals accountable either.
