As global talks on the economic crisis continue...

Things still look bad and the world is still trying to figure it out.

With that said, I want to revisit what Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said a few weeks ago at a talk in the States:

“While recently we have heard much in this country about how problems on Wall Street are affecting innocent people on Main Street, we need to think more about those people around the world with no streets. Wall Street, Main Street, no street – the solutions devised must be for all,” he stressed.

I guess I say this because also in the news is:

People are still starving

People are still without basic amenities

People are still caught up in horrific conflicts

I really, really hope that as we go forward in this economic mess, we remember how big the world is.
