( that's why i used the word sometimes, maybe, and might because I don't want the audience to think that my opinion is always applicable ) our current problems is so complex and our time here is very limited. hopefully, we will find more answers as everyone here inputs their opinions. the only thing i'm sure about myself is to serve my country by sharing a little bit of my time here. i understand bencard. i think we will connect some of the answers as we continue to blog. i don’t have all the answers too. i just avoid answering according to my opinion because as i said before, my opinion is not for everybody.
