If you've never been outside the U.S. then you have NEVER seen poverty, or famine. Seeing that really drives home the luck many of us have of being americans. I look at the world and I see a multitude of different cultures and ideas that all americans could benefit from. It's a pity there's so few who are open-minded about it. I love America, but we're only a speck on this Pale Blue Dot.
