<> this is a gate topped with hooks and spikes. It is designed to keep thieves and the like from trying to bust in on this persons status. These gates exist everywhere in the Philippines and in most "developping" nations. For every gated community , there are several shanty towns. Gated communities are patrolled by a guarding station where all cars are monitored in and out. The guard is payed by the residents to keep out the perceived dangerous people.
On the other side of the gate they usually have live-in servants and guard dogs in cages. Sometimes the servants go berserk and theive and kill.
But hey, at least someone gets to be driven around in a Mercedez and never has to lift a finger in the kitchen.
I don't know what it's like to be a person in the "3rd world", whether poor or rich.
I do know what it's like to live in a conquered world that has been divided into market categories: age, race, income, education....
these divisions are a disgrace to our ancesters who not too long ago, had ways of solving problems by sharing their burdens and ideas.
Nowadays we trust ever corrupt goverment officials to do this problem solving for us.
there are better thing I want to talk about. Good things and good people. Positive change and glimmers of hope. But you wont fully appreciate any of that until you face the truth.
