Well, in the 1970s we used to sit in our friend's loungeroom and discuss all the great and amazing things that we would be enjoying after the year 2000. We would have a world of computers and a leisured society. We would work much much less, if at all, and everyone would be prosperous and happy. The world would be all fed and very very happy. A glorious future indeed. But it was not to be.

Come the year 2007 and we have world hunger, world crisis, people work more hours and there is as much, if not more poverty in western countries as before. You see, what we forgot is that it is all very well to have wealth and technology. BUT this does not mean it will go to everone. What we need is to have this transferred and filtered down to those who need it most.

What causes world hunger etc? One, we have many wealthy nations(and I don't mean that most people in these nations are) , but that there is very very wealthy organisations and individuals in them. They manipulate the money system and charge the poor nations so much interest(compound interest) that it is impossible for these nations to pay the debt off. It is a racket set up by the rich to continuously rip off the poor and have them forever in debt. Also the rich manipulate the prices of products from poor countries for their own greedy ends. The second reason is the corruptness and the social and religous systems of the poor countries themselves. For example in India you cannot eat the cows that go through and eat and ruin crops very much needed by people. In many parts of Africa you need the pay corrupt official for anything and most of the aid we send goes to these corrupt officials and not to the people who need it. Also many nations are doing things to the earth they shouldn't.

What I would do is:
I Cancell all third world debt immidiately. This would stop the crippling brake upon any chance these people have in feeding themselves.
II Give the farmers of the third world fair prices for their products. This would give them a leg up. It would enable them to grow the food they need instead of having to grow cash crops to sustain their countries. Crops they and their children need to EAT.
III Change the structures and nature of the governments of the third world so that all corrupt officials are gotten rid of-permanatley. This would encourage development and make sure aid recieved would go to those in need.
IV Make sure that those who want to in these countries can partake in feeding themselves in ways that are against the belief system and tear down the unjust social orders that keep people under.
V Make companies who exploit these people act socially responsible and pay these people a decent wage. This would give these people a real chance.
VI Tax the very wealthy in western countries and in the third world so that part of the wealth created will go to those in need.
VII Teach the people in the third world the skill and technology to enable them to grow and produce more efficiently.
VIII Open up education in all countries so that people may accquire the skills and knowledge to be able to actually better their lives. Also industrialise and teach the work ethic to poor nations so that they may do what the west has done-worked up to develope themselves so they may be naturally prosperous.

You need to do these things. Otherwise it may be a thousand years through wars, revolutions, plague and devestation before things are set right. We must get rid of corrupt governments by force. We must change beliefs by giving people the opportunity to benifit. Especially if we liberate and educate GIRLS and WOMEN. They will have less children and things will improve.
We must stop wealthy countries from exploiting the poor and weak and wealthy multinationals from exploiting workers and making huge profits on it. We must stop people from ravaging the earth. For all this one needs FORCE. These people will not desist by themselves. They must be moved.

We in the western countries must use our vote to vote governments in who do not keep our poor, poor, open up education, end exploitation of workers and make the damm wealthy pay their damm fair share of tax. Too many have all those little loopholes. CLOSE THEM. We must vote in governments who will cancell the debts, pay fair prices for produce, stop corruption by any and all means possible and take a leaf out of the sea shepherds' book. If someone is damaging the earth, and I mean damaging the earth really and not just in the eyes of most of the enviromentalist nonesence, then for Christ's sake, don't just stand their and talk- DO SOMETHING.

You see, we know that their is world hunger, crisis, poverty, trouble, pestilence, corruption, unfair money system and general bastardry. We know the causes. We know what must be done to correct obvious problems which we know will cause very great problems in the future. These things are EASY. What is HARD is the WILL to do it and the will to pay the PRICE that must be done to do these things. As usual the easy part is the knowing-the hard part is the moral strength to DO. For these things we must do now - we have two choices: One, we bite the bullet and pay the price, make the hard choices and finish off these problems and put them in the garbage can of history where they belong.
Then we can all have a future we can enjoy, for all time.
Two, we let them continue and produce problems that will cause us and our decsendents great and evil suffering in the future.
Then someone else might solve the problem for us. And they might very well enact a price that will put the prices of the second choice into miniture oblivion. What moral choices we make today will decide the physical future. We really have two choices before us and time is running out. Turn or Burn. FOR MORAL CHOICES HAVE PHYSICAL CONSEQUENCES.

- Control population growth
- Teach everyone "smart" agricultural skills. It should be made a compulsory subject in high school.
- Prioritise on family and community values and about sharing
- Less priority should be given to money (this is the main culprit).

" As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world -- that is the myth of the atomic age -- as in being able to remake ourselves."
" Be the change you want to see in the world."
" The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problem."

did you recognize what money is? My brother 5 years youthful than me. After one hundred years, he continues to be 5 years youthful than me. healthcare specialist receives a fee 5 cases more advantageous than a instructor. reducing the cost of greenback does no longer decrease the cost of the works of a healthcare specialist. His charge continues to be 5 cases more advantageous than a instructor.

Build an army and kill all of those bastards who are keeping the more than adequate food supplies from getting to those in need.
