I'd talk about world hunger and how it isn't my fault starving people in other countries are too stupid to learn to farm and kill animals, but that I'd be willing, provided I was given enough grant money, or provided I was rich and bred, to fix that raging epidemic.

Adam Smith noticed that Capitalism was a major issue in this. The trade mechanism ensures that some humans fill themselves to obesity, while others starve. As you know, the trade mechanism is determined not by prices (until Bretton woods collapsed 1973) but militaristically!

Hence, being stupid has little to do with their predicament. It is merely endemic to imperialist preponderance. Maybe the starving countries lost their farmers to the slave trade?



Back on topic ... Why is it that oil producing countries are poor while oil consuming nations are rich? Imperialism is the best explanation ... and it dates back centuries in the Middle East thanks to Britain and latter America.

Perhaps the poorer countries need to learn how to kill and defend themselves from the bigger ones. :mog:
