I forgot to mention some comments I got. This from Ivona:

Thank you - I am here and I am reading you. I never thought that my formation is the cause of the way I think (I lived 12 years under a communist regime). Anyway, I am trying to overcome my shortcomings and walk in the other's shoes as well.

I guess you were right about human rights. The world is not perfect, but I would like to make a contribution to improve it. Starting with myself as a first step.

From Della R, is a link to her blog where she argues that Bob Geldhof is a pawn of G8 and that Tony Blair is working for Free Trade, not Fair Trade. The latter may well be true but I think you underestimate Bob and Bono. You may not like them, they don't care - they are making noise and getting attention. More than can be said for most of us. It's easy to be cynical, it's far more difficult to have some faith in people once in a while.

POSITIVE THOUGHT 5: Things can only get better.
