Call me hard hearted, but I am done weeping over starving Somalis or Ethiopians. We have had to watch our diner time TV news showing starving babies with flies crawling into their eyes and noses just too many times over the past ten years and are now numb to the issue. These countries and peoples never get it together no matter what amount of aid money is sent to them. Their society is broken, is run by evil war lords and won’t be fixed by hand outs. Don’t get me started on Haiti or New Orleans either.
IMHO...
I agree 100%.
I’m waiting for a Congress and President who can get this legislation implemented: NO FOOD LEAVES AMERICAN SHORES UNLESS SOMEBODY PAYS US TOP DOLLAR + A FAT TARIFF. BECAUSE AMERICANS SHOULD PAY LESS THAN DUMBSTERS IN OTHER COUNTRIES WHO REFUSE TO OVERTHROW THEIR OWN EVIL DICTATORS. NO MORE FOOD TO NORTH KOREA. OR AFRICA. OR ANYWHERE. AMERICANS EAT FIRST, AND EAT CHEAPLY. ANYTHING LEFTOVER, SELL TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER.
Sorry, huge corporate agri-business. WE ARE NOT THE FOODBASKET OF THE WORLD. IT WON’T WORK IN THE LONG RUN.
OTHER NATIONS ......... HAVE TO FEED THEMSELVES.
AMERICA CAN NOT FEED THE ENTIRE WORLD.
AMERICA HAS NO OBLIGATION, AS A NATION, TO FEED OTHER NATIONS.
(sorry, i gets so carried away)
I agree with you 100%. Tough love approach is needed. Let them starve. Either the people will wake up and stop the warlords or the warlords will run out of people to recruit/abuse.
Sam Kinnison had it right...
“Move to where the food is!!!”
