Because there are the good, the bad and the indifferent..the indifferent ones make up the largest part of the worlds population in my unesteemed opinion, while the bad sit idly by as well and take advantage and reap the rewards gleened from oppression, suppression, and poverty. They get to make most of the rules cuz they are the majority. The good people..well, their just aren't enough to go around. The workers are few and in most parts of the world where help is needed the most...Africa, Middle East, China...most people fear going...the World will tolarate any injustice that does not directly effect them and say..well, its not in my backyard..its not my problem...I wish you could watch the PBS special I watched some time ago about the world economic market, polution, the AIDS crisis and the Sudanese/Chad refugee situation. It is believed by most economists that if the U.N. were to have acted more quickly just days even..they would have saved some several hundred thousand lives..and could still regarding the HIV epidemic in third world countries but the truth is..the problem is "under" control in the developed nations of the world. So like a wild fire..they are allowing it to run its course in order to improve economic flow and balance the scales with the population boom. Its calculated with the world leaders and various governments. Rwanda, Saravjo, Bosnia, Sudan, Sub-Saharan Africa, Indonisia, the rest of South East Asia, Indo China. These people are a drain on the worlds resources..so lets just let them die a slow suffering death and the problem will take care of itself. They may send military but they won't send medicine..they may send medicine but no food..there has to be four aide intervention tactics used..Food, medicine, and water...then the Military to protect and disperse it. Without all of these three..no infrastructuer can be built and many human lives will slip through the cracks. Faith based charity and missions can't do it on their own..and until the people of the world step up and force their leaders to act on behalf of these "neighbors" the world will continue as it is and nothing will change..except that it gets worse. Love in Christ, ~J~ <><

From a personal perspective it is thinking that everything in the world is falling apart all around them.. or beyond their control...  And, not having the ability to find the answers for the impossible riddle the world has become. This brings on a lot of anxiety and fear that nothing can be done to right the wrongs that may not even be there to begin with. That was my experience .. Not fun at all.

A mess.  Our society would be alot better off if we tried to equalize the money a bit.  We are not making much headway doing it the way we are.  I would be willing to join a political party that thinks we should take care of our own country and it's people.  Global warming and the loss of fish, other animals and the state of our rainforests really has me worried.  And I am ashamed that we as a country have not learned to be above war.

Hey KB--these are dark days, but I don't think it's the end of the world, or even of the US. Clearly, democracy in the U.S. is in a bad place right now, and there are a lot of signs that the U.S. world dominance might not be as hunky-dory as it looked 10 years ago. \n\nBut still, we are a strong nation with good people, and over time, we will recover from this. Our democracy will stand, and people will come to see some of the mistakes we've made over the last 5 years. Corruption and short-sightedness are nothing new. We will never completely leave them behind, but we have overcome them before, and we will do so this time.\n\n\n(It might be presumptuous, but I'm going to bet you're in your teens or early 20's...at that age, it often seems like each crisis is the biggest one ever and that some kind of Apocalypse is near, but now that I've got an extra decade or two, I realize that history has it's rhythms and humanity always manages to muddle on somehow).

The world is the world, and people are people. Human nature hasn't changed one shred since the beginning of recorded history. There are good moments and bad in history. But, in the whole history of recorded time, there has always been violence and war and oppression and anger and such.\n\nThe world may or may not get better, but the point is to make our own little worlds better. Our little worlds of our families and friends and neighbors. That is really as much as we can do.

I agree, the people of this world have forgotten that God wants us to LOVE one another. No matter what religion or race. We all came from the same place. Our world is really a mess. I guess all we can do is Pray for things to get better. GOD BLESS YOU, for caring..

The world will never be a peaceful place as long as there are material interest as a base of society,it's simple-people are greedy and that meeans that no matter their lack of need they will threat other people for their resources.It isn't fair yet it happens since the begining of the forms of human organisation.
