The truth about money
October 11, 2006
ThaRum VIA Global Voices: Writing over at Global Voices, ThaRum takes a look at the increasing connectedness of the growing online Cambodian community. Among a handful of thought-provoking vignettes, ThaRum links to a recent post by Vireak that asks the question, “How much do foreigners know about Cambodia?“
Somewhere along the lines, it seems, Cambodia got indoctrinated to the idea that foreigners were not only incredibly rich, but wickedly smart, too. From our superior educational facilities and superior national treasuries came citizens of superior intelligence.
Nothing, really, could be further from the truth. The world is full of rich stupid people.

LOL. That’s quite true. A good example would be some of our U.S. politicians.

We still do look up to foreigners. We’re evying their true democracy and full freedom of expression (press).
