I look forward to that post! I do not consider myself a pessimist, more of a realist.....I have been studying on this question for years now and what I notice is that Americans especially do not want to admit that people around the world could starve or die in wars (due to actions of our government!) while we are comfy and fat in front of our large screen televisions.......so if you can dissaude me I am eager to hear your arguments.
