Rating:  - Excellent service
Excellent service, turn around time was great. Appreciate the seller. Thank you again.
Rating:  - Not socialist, but not very solid either.

That is a serious question. Read this classic ... Read More

simply treated diseases, lack of education opportuniites, lack of resources,lack of employment,lack of clean running water, but most of all a lack of hope.... this book is an eye opener about how half of the 6 billion people on this planet are living on $2.00 or less a day!!! It makes one really think about those conveniences and material possesions that WE cannot ... Read More
