you say "such extreme poverty and death is a deliberate and to be expected result of an economic structure imposed on the world by the western industrialized nations (15:59)." I could be crazy and yes slightly inhumane, but this strikes me as an evoloutionary term called selection. With selection (and im sure you know of evoloution very well.. liberal) individuals try to maximize their lifespan by out-competing their competitors... analogous to our free market capitalism.
What you dont speak of is that We're giving aid to African countries to combat a cornucopia of diseases such as malaria (numbering into the hundreds of millions alone for just one disease!). We give aid to countries and to people because their own governments only care for their own needs. Tribes fighting age old wars. The united states is more socialistic towards supporting other worldly populations than any other country whether it be western, eastern, mid eastern, southern or northern. Globalization of trade, of labor and of business is inevitable. Yes, it is unfortunate that some people get left in the dark, but not everyone can benefit. This is a sad fact, but a true fact and, as the world leader, the United States supports poverty stricken people in the world more than any other country. Another stat you throughout is that 20% of the worlds population owns 80% of the worlds wealth. You say this is due to the economic structure set upon the United States and other western states. What you failed to define is where that poor 80% resides in the world. Countries in which their growth rates far exceed any production capacity. Countries where the fast portion of the population is under the age of 15. Countries where a free market economy doesn't exist and, because of culture barriers, never will (dictatorships or communist regimes).
You villify an economic system that allows for the creation of funds to distribute money and supplies to countries that need those supplies and monies. Not everyone can be on top, and not everyone can be first. That is the essence of competition and the essence of evoloutionary selection. Why we're chosen to live in this country and not another is of God's choosing and not our own. Be thankful and blessed that you are here. Rather than ridicule and villify a nation that gives you the ability to speak as you do, why dont you do some good and donate your time working for Habitat for Humanity or some other aid organization. It's time better spent than running this rickety website
