I didn't pay much attention to TED Talks phenomenon until I listen to this one about a year or 2 ago. I have been a fan of it ever since. I learn so much and is inspired to live and do better.

The irony of the teacher's message was dead on the money, so accurate. With the only different being that the power brokers of the world supported the Jews while Biafra was ignored by all except frederick forsyth
