I find this thought process (the one in the article) to not be very accepting of &quot;failure&quot;.  So what if the Ugandan kid comes over and thinks he can change the way the US thinks of guns?  It&#x27;s not like he&#x27;s going to have an impact unless he&#x27;s right, so bring him and everyone else on!<p>I agree that problems are <i>way</i> more complex, in general, then they tend to first appear, but that naivety is sometimes good, because it&#x27;s insulating against the thinking that created the problem.<p>Maybe the Ugandan kid will learn a great deal about the US and its gun situation, but still maintain that &quot;outsider looking in&quot; viewpoint, and that&#x27;s unique, in a good way.
