It is obvious some countries are more "blessed" than others. It depends on what you think as blessed. The United States of America had to put up with Great Britain, but today they're by far the strongest country on Earth. They were blessed by abundant natural resources, and recieved food and advice from the Native Americans. But were they blessed in population? Compared to Britain, no. I like to look at cause and effect. If there were no Native Americans, would the original colonists survive? If Columbus failed to reach the Americas, would there even be the Canada and U.S. we know today? Everything is affected by time and place. Not just geographically speaking. Some African tribes had to sell eachother into slavery, but the slaves were sold to Europeans and Africans. If Europe never colonized Africa, would there even be the African slave trade? Western Africa is rich in gems, but they failed to realize so. Africa could have been rich if outside life did not interfere.
I like to discuss current events in the middle east, and the Prime Minister of Canada's bills and the President of the U.S.'s bills.
I like classical music, believe it or not. I have to go to violin lessons every week on Tuesday and Monday, so maybe that is it :) I also like music from the 70's and rock that's made today, but no heavy metal-ish stuff.
