for W3c validation

There was an article in the Atlantic recently – How Millennials are Changing Travel – that I saw shared by multiple people over the course of a week. There are over 200 comments on it, but here’s one that particularly caught my attention:

We know how people in 3rd world countries live without having to go to them. Fact is they are extremely dangerous and their really is no reason for people to travel to them. Their is a reason they are so cheap to visit

Honestly, I just about threw up in my mouth when I read it.

This is clearly someone who knows absolutely nothing about the 3rd world, aside from what they hear in mass media. It makes me sad that ill informed individuals are out there spreading the existing stereotype of “danger at every turn in the 3rd world” without any first hand experience, and increasing fear of travel among Americans.
