No nation that has ever existed has solved every bit of poverty and squalor. We haven't, and we're the richest nation that has ever existed. And yet, nations build monuments - they inspire people and inspire unity.

Well put.

This is beside the point but I must write it:
The ONLY country more filthy that India is China. I went through the list of third world sewers and both my husband and I agreed on the degrees of filth.

China wins, hands down.

that's not really an argument. There is poverty even in the USA, even in Luxembourg. These two states haven't "licked poverty".

Man does not lie by bread alone.
