Heard this report on NPR radio. It's about squatters (some of which are former soldiers for Charles Taylor) in Liberia living in an abandoned building nicknamed the "Titanic." If you have the time, give it a listen. It probably runs about 10 minutes or so.
Paul Wilkinson left a comment in a previous post discussing politics about how a politician's tenure and whether it's successful or not can be "relative."
With this report, you see that life is a series of "relative" moments. For example, one person said he was happy for "how far he'd come" from the point he was (a soldier). While what he had wouldn't even make the poverty line here, it was progress for him.
