I don't think that people in America are really given enough information about the Third World.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I guess I strongly feel that we cannot pretend that the Third World is not part of our world. We cannot say 'OK, there's that problem over there, let's just close our eyes' - we cannot do that.
I don't consider the first-world concerns any less important than the third-world ones.
After a lifetime of world travel I've been fascinated that those in the third world don't have the same perception of reality that we do.
I wish I had known when I was in the White House what I know now about the Third World.
What we ask of the developed countries is to let the Third World find a third way.
We are regarded as a Third World country with First World living conditions.
As a Third World citizen, I always feel that I need to express my point of view. Sometimes the points of view of Third World countries are never expressed. We don't have that possibility, sometimes, to spread what we feel and how we see things.
So it's mainly a question of helping the Third World overcome the effects of global warming.
We are a vibrant first-world country, but we have a humbling third-world memory.
For sure, the American people have access to more information now than any other people who have ever lived on earth. And I think we do a pretty good job of sorting out what's important.
