"Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich,"
As an example of how stupid our global civilization is ... Africa has more than enough wealth and natural resources to produce all the food and water it needs to feed its own people without any outside influence or control. Unfortunately, first world countries have such a stranglehold on African nations and governments that they are forever beholden to foreign aid and manipulation that they will never be able to pay off their debts ... which means African will forever pay first world countries and never be capable of standing on their own.
Also, I've been sober from alcohol and drugs for close to 30 years now .... and I'm perfectly aware of all this and think about this stuff all the time. We don't need mind altering drugs to understand how stupid, greedy and corrupt our world is, has always been and will always be until we destroy ourselves and free this planet of our own stupidity.
