.... blue water that seems endless, where in the middle there is a mountain where most of the boats are headed. As they get near the mountain, other people are already climbing and others walking through the path other villagers had made long ago. Once off the boat, the first steps to the path are few feet away from the shoreline. The steps they take are considered sacred and the people are supposed to go on them bear footed. These steps are made up of little rocks, some of them smoother than others. The first few steps up the mountain are relatively simple to climb. Nevertheless, as one goes higher, the steepness of the mountain begins to .....

Iraq has few natural resources, consisting of Crude oil, natural gas, various phosphates, and sulfur.

.... the purchase of Canada with our own money, the shocking statistics of Canada's foreign ownership, and the final payment for our country, free trade. All in all we have our own government, our own flag, our own anthem; but are we really Canadian or a not quite United State of America? In Canada, strong government involvement plays an immense role in determining the destiny of its people for the good of the society. In Canada you are reminded of the government every day. It parades before you. It is not content to be the servant, but will be the master... Henry David Thoreau, 18861 Although slightly outdated, as of 1982 47.3 .....

Under the leadership of their Prime Minister, Michael Manley, Jamaica began to build up their economy and eventually made the quality of life better than anybody could remember. Manley started building up his country from their most valuable and most wasted resource: bauxite. The Jamaicans were basically getting scammed by the mining companies.
