what spells trouble?

I'd say, people.

What reason is there for not allowing foreign aid workers to come into your country and help your people relieve the tension and pain they're experiencing right now? To quote my CSM the burmese government is "f**kedtype".

And the idea of a superior people eliminating the aliens in "their" land. In Rwanda, they called them "cockroaches" and assumed the right to kill 500,000 of them (they stopped when they stopped).

The rich go on amassing their wealth, which comes from exploiting the poor in one way or another, and they forget the poor. If only the rich would just give a small percentage, to the poor for education, and the most basic of social developments, i'm sure the world will become a better place. It seems ridiculous to us that anybody would believe that their neighbour deserves to die because some authority said so, and even more unbelievable that anybody would execute genocides of such massive scales. We need to bring these people up to this basic understanding of the need to respect each other, and that there's always a bloodless way out.

And there's the TV (and the producers) introducing notions of love(sensationalism could be a better word), rebellion, and egocentric thinking. Looking at issues kids (like us) deal with today, don't you think it's largely similar to what you see on TV? (ok not prison break for me)

I hope as much as we bring trouble, we also can be agents of peace and healing.
