"We know that two-thirds of the world's population are poor and hungry, two-thirds are really angry, and we don't have to ask why."

We sure don't! They live under the thumb of brutal dictators, some of whom keep their people in line by keeping them tied to a religion that promotes poverty, violence and mayhem, and self-victimization.

Of course, the US is getting real good at promoting poverty, self-depreciation, and a feeling of hopelessness for her citizens too. It's just a matter of time until the violence follows.

You sure called that one right.

It bears repeating that neither the 9-11 terrorists nor the chattering nabobs of negativism who make up our academic elite have ever personally experienced poverty.

Without exception, they come from upper-middle class and wealthy families. Instead of using their wealth to help those less fortunate, they've chosen to use it to direct hatred at those who have only asked for the opportunity to govern their own affairs and make their own decisions on which religion to give their allegiance to and which causes to spend their hard-earned dollars on.
