What If You Couldn't Live Another Week?

Would anyone help you if you were starving to death or dying of a disease because you couldn't afford medication? We have more than enough medication and food, but it isn't getting to the people who need it most. Instead it goes into dumps.

thank you for this article that helps to think more and to stop complaining about what the world does for us and to ask ourselves do we do something for this world ? Are we obliged to wait for the change to come or should n't we make it .we should react and make this world a little bit better .
thanks again
great work.

No man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

John Donne (1572-1631). From "Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions, Meditation XVII"

Bill,

Who can argue that humankind suffers from distribution issues and not supply issues? Just as certain as the existence of unequal distribution is the fact that it always has been, and I suspect always will exist to some extent. Subjectively, the ones who you allege suffer from malfunctioning distribution only see a lack of supply.

I do not pretend to have "the answer," and applaud your heart-felt plea to "do something." It occurs to me that so much deficiency exists on the local level that most folks are not even able to start to look at the global problem with any real objectivity.

The enormity of this matter is indescribable -- well, I cannot describe it. Obviously we cannot send our refuse to starving countries in some sort of doggy bag fashion. Maybe we all should buy a pig and/or some chickens and turn the garbage/slop into livestock that could be sent to these developing (?) nations and peoples?

I agree on one level that we are "committed to every other person on the planet." We are a part of the whole, no doubt. But to divert local focus to global dilemma will damage efficacy on the local level. We are back to the apathetic paralysis "thing."
You raise some good points . . . as usual. I'm here for the long haul. Just thought I would pop in.

Peace,
< br/>Bruce
