In fact I can assure you that none of us 1 f ---.:.,:· ~~ . i. have anything against the No. 2 man nor the political party ~ - ''·" ''-~ he belongs to. The fact is that our "feeling good" is a ' reaction against the institutional practices of using African countries and other undeveloped nations as examples of developmental failures with corruption as the main ingredient for their failures. Any of you readers who have taken courses in political science, sociology, economics, history, etc., must have realized that when lectures or discussions drifted off into coups, failures of governments, development of third world countries, etc., the picture is always the same. That is, the political leadership of these so-called "underdeveloped" nations is corrupt, incompetent, oppressive, etc., thus their failures. America is never used as an example for corruption, incompetence and lying. Why? Because America is presumed ( to be the .only superman imbued with honesty, qualities of j good government, democracy, developmental ability, industrial know-how and other niceties of progress. But lo and behold, NOW America has been shown,to possess these ... same qualities that are, supposed to breed "non d evelopment"-"non-progress"; specifically, Ame:t;ica has been shown to be corrupt, oppressive and lying. But the interesting thing about this phenomenon is that America, in spite of all these negative qualities continues to develop cable TV, more industries and better planned cities. You'll probably question whether cable TV and industries are signs of real development since their impact on the American society as a whole can be argued to be negative. But that's !HE VISIBLE MESS not the point. My point is that America did acquire the capability for development. Whatever America has done with that capability is another matter. It should then follow that African countries indeed all other undeveloped nations with similar governmental qual ties-corruption, lies, etc., must also be able to acquire that capability for development. But yet for some mysterious reason they haven't and maybe will How would you like to step out College Newspapers never. The reason is simple though; EXPLOITATION. .
