Remember when the only time you saw policemen with

machine guns patrolling the streets was when you visited

 a Third World country, like Mexico? This is New York

City today. 

If you're old enough, you remember when America

was sending Peace Corps volunteers to Third-World

countries in Asia and Latin America.  Well, if you

live long enough, you may well see Peace Corps

volunteers from those erstwhile Third-World--now

becoming First-World--countries being sent to the
United States.  

Don't people in the Third World know that if you

step on a crack, you break your mother's back?
