Of course the bumper sticker that says think globally and act locally is probably also a good idea.Why not take it one step further; think globally and act locally and then take what you learn and franchise it to the rest of the world in system modules to help Third World countries become first world countries and help them solve their own problems using your systems, plans and methods.< Several folks argued that just because their little eBay hobby generated a little cash, that didn't make it a full blown business.
