characters from another age

He thinks that there are a lot of political movements that are

empty and without meaning, because they do not maintain any

the expectations of the country.

representatives who believe they are making changes, but who

are really not.

country, is messed up.

Opinion about the World Economic Crisis

o He says that humans become not only predators, but also devastators of almost every natural resource. As a result, this crisis that we are living is logical; not only right now, but also for millions of years.

o He thinks that a lot of money is being spent on criminals and weapons and bad politicians spend money on intransigent things.

o He considers that the crisis is affecting our country because it is so small and with a weak economy. And since we are small other larger countries, such as the United States, are taking advantage of us.
