"Slowly and painfully, we are seeing worldwide acceptance of the fact that the wealthier and more technologically advanced countries have a responsibility to help the undeveloped ones. Not only through a sense of charity, but also because only in this way can we ever hope to see any permanent peace and security for ourselves." Sir Edmund Hillary, Schoolhouse in the Clouds

Excellent quote! It's frustrating when people don't realize how important helping the people worldwide is to our personal security. If you don't want to help people because you're selfish, then do it because you want safety. :) Even our military knows that, hence the civil affairs teams they deploy.
Great quote. I get in trouble with my Dad who just is not "with me" on so much of this sort of stuff ... or I would steal it and use it.
