Let me be frank, were I born a poor Dominican, I would grab the first Ticket Out that crossed my path. As would most of you. The difference is that we are blessed to live with means, however small they may seem, that allow us to never be forced to make such decisions.
End of speech.
I think that is a great point that many people miss...it is VERY easy to pass judgement, condemn, criticize etc but until you have walked in someone elses shoes.......we would ALL do the same for sure!
Now having said that, I dont condone using people and hurting them by doing this.
I know I can only reflect on my own life and feel very privilleged and fortunate to always have been a "have" instead of a "have not", and most importantly, have had the opportunity to get a very good education...since I believe, thats where its all at!
