I truly believe that there is enough of all three. It will never change though. Nice question.

Yes, but there are not enough people that would be willing to part with their slice of the pie. That said, there are more than enough people in the world. Indeed, the "Trying to Conceive" category should be banned from Y!A. But hey, I'll get off my soapbox. Check back in about 50 years when the polar ice has melted. "I told you so" will be a cold comfort at best, I'll grant you that.

The earth is abundantly supplied with enough products, goods and services to meet every ones needs. The ONLY reason there are poor people is because there are rich people. Or countries.
The USA has been a leader in economic wealth, but it is coming back to haunt us...greed can only survive for a given time and then the cost is due and payable. By the numbers of homeless and poverty stricken people in this country we are seeing the prophecy coming home to roost. Peace.

Not enough food is a matter (in most "poor" countries) of politics and poor distribution networks, not of lack of fertility of the land. The people in those countries should do something (revolution or the actual use of the democracy they supposedly have) to get rid of the dead-beats running their countries. Also, plants have seeds for a reason---poor people need to try to become more self-reliant.

As long as there is not enough creativity, drive, and initiative vibrantly flowing throughout the human populace, there will always be poor people. And they'll be poor no matter how much they are given or how much potential resources lie around them.

Yes I do believe that there is enough of everything to continue to go around. But the thing is that there are alot of greedy people that dont know how to share. If people did share then I would bet money that no one would go without food, or anything like that. Why must people be greedy?

I think it was Gandhi who said:
"The earth can also cater for Man's needs but it will never be able to satisfy Man's greed".
Unfortunately, mankind has shown that it is greed and the urge to accumulate wealth that is the stronger driving force for creativity and freedom. Societies which try to organised themselves on the utopian vision for equality ended up with political and economic power been monopolized by a handful of political insiders - with the vast majority living in poverty with little freedom to decide what work they can do and where to stay.

Definitely. The combined incomes of the wealthiest people in the world could easily feed, house, pay for health insurance, and clothe poor folks------with plenty of money left over.

Yes, I do. I was once told by a nurse that there are enough medical supplies to go around for certain. But people are selfish and don't want to share.

One would have to define money ..
FOOD no there isn't
RESOURCES we must be doing well if we have access to them ..
NO! The world is dying, and maybe world leaders agree that it is necessary to maintain their current state of EDEN.
