We are a vibrant first-world country, but we have a humbling third-world memory.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A nation's life is about as long as its reverential memory.
I wish I had known when I was in the White House what I know now about the Third World.
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.
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.
America has become amnesiac, a country in which forms of historical, political, and moral forgetting are not only willfully practiced but celebrated.
I am fully aware of the critical moments we face as a country.
Every country has its own perspective on the Second World War. This is not surprising when experiences and memories are so different.
We're like a Third World country when it comes to some of our election practices.
I don't consider the first-world concerns any less important than the third-world ones.
We are regarded as a Third World country with First World living conditions.
