Easing into watching African situations
It really is something I have to do, and I was reminded of this by finding <passport.to.the.third.world>, self-described thus:
I was born in Angola in 1979. Although I left the country at the age of six and currently live a comfortable existence in a Brooklyn apartment, my thoughts and actions are based upon the experiences of a man born in the third world and currently living in the first. My political beliefs are those of an individual whose nation was nearly destroyed by a civil war initiated and perpetuated largely by external powers, namely the United States and the former Soviet Union, during the Cold War. This is the context in which my words should be couched.
Looks to be new, looks to share with me at least a basic understanding of how the situation in Africa came about. Looks like I can learn something.
Later:One thing I've already learned is to pay attention to the need for < and > entities . I see them I use them in text so rarely I forgot they, and everything between them, vanish when entered as characters.
