Unfortunately the core of any arguments that I may propose in contention have been degraded to a level of ill repute by hot headed first worldist save the planet by offering no real alternative types. As an African it annoys me that the international keyhole spying into the continent seems to be rigged to only dislay the failures of the continent. None of the successes. It also bothers me that when speaking of fantastical crimes against humanity there is an unfair focus on Africa - very little on Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe. This is by no means an attempt at a "they do it too" argument. Just saying when it comes to working towards a better world, better to take a big picture look at all the problems, not just some of them.
