what good is travel?

Travel shows us that Americans are among the haves in a have-not world. In contrast nearly half of this world's people live on $2 a day. And travel teaches you that, if you know what's good for you, you don't want to be filthy rich is a desperately poor world. It's just not a pretty picture.

[so that's how the world views the United States?]
