: Yes, I might not have definate solutions to the problems facing Ukraine.

Then I recommend you go to college, learn, think -- until you do have definite solutions. Because Ukraine has a sort of mild dictatorship right now, and we certainly do not need it to become any worse.

: But at least I am willing to look for solutions, which is more than i can says for ALL of the Ukrainian population living with me in the Detroit area.

May be that is because there is not any Ukrainian population in the Detroit area -- just some Americans of Ukrainian origin.

: In regards to your question, I was born in Ukraine and lived there until i was about twelve. I go visit Ukraine almost every summer and keep up on current events.

I am glad to hear this. What about all those "Ukrainians" of Detroit area you mentioned? I thought so.

: I was passionate about the situation plagueing Ukraine

See, it is not "the situation" that is plagueing Ukraine. It's the people who created and are in control of that rotten system. To win Ukraine back from them, we have to be stronger and smarter than they are -- so, study hard and go to college.

: ever since I could remember, due to my patriotic grandparents and great-grandparent.

Loving your motherland is like loving a woman -- in both cases you need not only passion, but certain ability as well, otherwise your love may remain unappreciated.

: I believe that it is up to me and others like me to try and save Ukraine.

I share this belief with you.

: This might sound rediculous, but if we dont try SOMETHING,ANYTHING than absolutely nothing will happen.

You are right. But if we try ANYTHING we might well lose -- and then absolutely nothing will change. We have no right to lose. So, study hard and go to college.
