Why do we continue to cut the weeds, but don't touch the roots?

For these first scrap notes at IdeasdePapel,  I want to highlight some of my views with regards to the Somalia's famine problem and the current financial crisis.  I cannot help but to show my strong feelings of discredit and outrage when reading the headlines in the media and with that that goes on in general in this world we live in. I realize, though, that if I want to talk about what goes on out there the scope of this article is short and biased, but I can't afford to get lost in a sea of topics and current affairs. Enough time and opportunities I will have to get lost as I post more some other time...As the mission of this blog goes, IdeasdePapel are my personal feelings, my experiences of what happens, my points of view. You, the reader, may or may not agree with them, but I assure you will not be able to remain oblivious, you will not be indifferent the moment you cross this precedent paragraph. This is the reality we live in! How about we start acknowledging it and doing something about it?!
