I just typed out a whole long comment, and it got erased. It went something like this: Hey Robin Hood! :) It'd be great if you were back in Sherwood Forrest. But then again, if you were Robin Hood, would that make me Maid Marian? And... who would Sheriff of Nottingham be?! Uh oh - competition for you! Haha just kidding. Anyways, so Blood Diamonds. Good movie! I ended up watching it in my conflict class last fall, and in your case, you're right. TIS! It's incredible to recognize that my reality here is so drastically different from the reality you're experiencing over there. I mean, even with processing sponsored refugees these past few years, it boggles my mind that I can sit at one end of a table, coming from a middle-class lifestyle, and at the other end of the table, sits a boy the same age as me, who has lived in a ref camp all his life, has no idea where his family is and has elephantiasis. Maybe on a larger scale, it's not even TIS. It's more like TIL - This is Life. This is the World. Inequality, grossly imbalanced economic and resource allocation... Mmh. But just thoughts anyways. Boo. I just typed out a whole long comment, and it got erased.
