I WAS appalled to read a comment in your letters page stating this country is a Third World country. What an insult to the suffering in the real Third World.
Through the media coverage most of us hear of their suffering, so how can we compare the way we live with their existence?
As a car driver, I also bemoan the state of our roads, but if this country were not so affluent, there would not be the cars on the roads to wear them out.
I thank God I live here and not in a world where there is no clean water and very little to eat, and so should your letter writer.
