RE: The South African Border War - The 80's begins
Would it be too presumptuous of me to think that you're implying that Africa would have been better of as it was?

Africa is developing. Its problems are less sophisticated and therefor more visible than the developed world, but these things are to be expected as part of any growth trajectory.
Even in biology we have teething pains, growing pains and teenage pimples.
With challenges however, come opportunities. The secret is to see past the glaring, in your face problems, to the many opportunities hidden just beneath that veneer.
thanks for an important paradigm
I have no disagreement with you @gavvet. What I'm trying to divine is if @kouba01 thinks we are worse off since his complaint seems to have popped out of nowhere irrelevant to your topic. In my experience such venting is often followed by a longing for "how things used to be". Of course I could be totally wrong.
