I want to go and see the world. I want to know the world like the palm of my hand.

But my belief is growing that our political and social evils are remediable, if only all of us who want a change for the better just get up and work for it, all the time, with as much knowledge and intelligence as we can muster for it.

And finally the wrongs roll up into world catastrophes and millions of deaths and a terrible set-back for all mankind.
