Thread Name: BS: Double standards in USA? Surely not...
Subject: RE: BS: Double standards in USA? Surely not...
Sam Kinneson had a sort of point, but he had the wrong solution..they CAN'T all move (ask Pakistan), but they can control population, with help....Land has a certain "carrying capacity"...you can only have so many people live in some places and be sure they can eat without help.

The blame in the food, drug, health care issue lies in modern society progressing faster in some areas than others and in lack of sane population control measures EVERYWHERE....there is simply **NO** way to feed and provide modern medicines equally to everyone in the world who needs them...hell, I can't even get/afford all *I* need, and I live in the US!

Could we do better? Sure..like all modern problems, there is room for improvement!...and there are MANY Americans working to 'make things better'...it is just REAL hard to make every ideal "Official Govt. Policy".

and, yes...in the final analysis, "It DOES depend on whose ox is being gored!"
