Raise your hand if you've lived in a 3rd world S***hole???

I have, and it ain't that bad if you have the 'means'. Any country in this world will cater to 'the means', by way of insuring overall a pleasant safe, or I should say guarded, and baby sat visit.

Here's what I know, most of the people in any given S***hole are regular people just trying to survive. However, mixed in with them, and often times related, are the folks who gravitated towards some serious criminal behavior; beyond that, are the vast societal differences.

In a s***hole, a common ignorant mistake of an average tourist, is walking around with their cameras, watches, or other belongings loosely, and comfortably.
Now this sets up the perfect 'feel good crime, without remorse', for most of the people that live in these places. It's not so much looked at as crime, but more so that a kind tourist, has shown up with goodies, and is willing to part with them to help the greater cause, right?

For the most part that's somewhat how it can be viewed; when people regularly spend their days rummaging through the 3rd world dump, in order to find sustenance. Yes, the tourist didn't consciously realize that they wanted to give their stuff away..........but they did when in the wrong area, at the right time, with their little cared for personal belongings.

My point??? Bernie knows this, he's a man of means, and has traveled. He knows the average American is so sheltered anymore, they cannot comprehend. Who's he really looking out for, or for that matter, any of these "Internationalists"?

I mean to clearly relate this back, this is what Bernie is showing us, a little bit of a white lie, but that 'we're all the same'....'See I hired one in a lessor role, but still vital; love them all'.~Future Dear Leader
