Prometheus 6

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.
