states (mental, emotional)...

poverty is a great interference, like a wrench wrecking an otherwise smoothly running clock... and also of great interest because it affects so many people on this planet and it keeps us from living up to our potential...if we had better ways of eradicating poverty here I do not doubt we would be having more very pleasant encounters / conversations / travels with others...

Do you really want to promote a model where extra excuses are made for certain special people just because they are good at making money and inventing things????

It's an uncomfortable truth

I've had so many women tell me they were raised to put men and boys first...and their mothers also were taught to SERVE and were not treated as EQUALS..and how many times have I heard the "it's bad enough with men from my culture but white guys are even worse" stories?
