Live in your little safe world where 3/4's of the people don't eat everyday or have heat, or have fresh water. When they decide to take what we take for granted, you'll learn, if you live long enough. There are about 8 billion people on the planet who've never had what we think are unbearable living conditions, but now they are hearing and seeing about them. I've seen people who would kill to live in a backyard storage shed, and kill to eat your garbage. We've pulled the cork from the Genie's bottle, and it can't be put back. Economic hard times mean we buy less "stuff" we don't need anyway. But the people that make "stuff", don't eat. Or didn't you hear about the riots at the Kader Plant where the BBC said as many as 400 were killed, from people being laid-off. If you ever see a real food riot, you'll never forget it. I have. Can you imagine what would happen if a reporter threw a shoe at China's Premier on a state visit? War, all-out missles, nukes, poision gas, millions of Chinese troops killing anything and everything war. Marx and Mao were right. We are decadent and complacent, and ignorant.
