Zim is such an example for the world...take from the people who have made the earth bloom and worked to create jobs, and give the rich, fertile earth to political cronies who know nothing about farming, and nothing about hard work. Ten years later, you have a dustbowl. What did you expect? Oh, yeah...if you amount to nothing when you were given everything to start, it's The Man's fault.
Puts me in mind of the near animal Pali's who, upon being given Jewish settlements in exchange for a peace they had no intention of keeping, set out, first thing, to smash perfectly good greenhouses full of food because they were once owned by the JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSE! At one time, stupid was it's own punishment. Then our government started rewarding stupid, here and abroad, and look at where we are now.
Go to Google Earth and look at a map of the middle east. The Jewish lands are fertile and green. It isn’t because the land is better, it is because of the love and work expended on it. Some people only put out just enough effort to get by for the moment and they will never have much of anything.
