I was wondering if anyone had taken a shot at this?
One of the problems with living in the western world is because we are insulated against what's happening elsewhere in the world we tend to be emotionally removed.
Has anyone tried to simulate conditions which exist in impoverished nations or war torn countries like Iraq?
It'll be nice once we get avatar NPCs available to do this sort of thing.

Every time I visit Jessie, it's been really peaceful and quiet. I wonder why.

Ack, I've been to an El Paso barrio, umm and Detroit, and New Orleans, outside the tourist district. Not everyone is insulated.
