If we spent some of the magical Bail-Out money feeding the hungry peeps of the planet, would making a better world buy us any street cred?

Would America still be "The Evil Infidels" & such?
Would not everyone love us? Would not oil prices come down?
Or is there some REASON to keep the third world in it's place? To keep black babies weak?

Take this where you will...

You SHOULD know better Chris,IsAll.

It's the 'given a man a fish and he'll survive for the night, and don't give a man a fish and social Darwinism will take it's course' saw conservatives keep harping on.

Why SHOULD you give poor people ANYTHING, after all ? It'll just make more of them, like vermin.

No.

The money that we would give away was just robbed from poorer folks anyway. Maybe if we withdrew our troops from the 800 installations around the world, signed out of the WTO until it included and enforced worker protections and benefits for operating transparent democracies, stopped the IMF from enforcing the Chicago School of Economics, and brought capitalism to heel... then we might have some street cred.

Signy, were I unwed, I would take you in a manly fashion.

That's my way of saying you rock.

the west would lose control, and we would have a much different world.


as Signy said, capitalism has to be brought to heel,


as does organized religion, power hungry leaders full of themselves, and anyone else who cannot respect the rights of people just to be left to be.
