We could start by abolishing the world's stock exchanges .
These are no more than gambling dens and thrive on people's losses.

There are even today banks who operate on minimum profit to help those in need and who turn their backs on financial trickery.

There are now many farmers in India who have removed themselves from the profiteering chemical companies who have turned nature into a chemical supply and demand profit chain and who are back to harvesting their own plant seeds with lots of success.

And let us stick to seasonal vegetables and fruit from our own countries.

Personally I find it disgusting that our House of Parliament has a bar. Sorry, but for me MPs have to be example-setters and lead by example.

Some hope.

Thanks for your comments Busby.

What I saw was a huge cargo plane with its rear end opened so things could be put in the back of the plane. At that moment, one item was being driven onto the plane. It was the President of Uganda, Idi (Papa) Amin's white convertible cadillac. Idi Amin was one of the world's terrible rulers.

About 1400 miles away from Uganda is Zimbabwe. I own one of their 100 Trillion Dollar bills along with a 50 Trillion Dollar bill and a bunch more lower denominations that are worthless.

Hard to believe some people live in extreme luxury while some of their constituents live in astute poverty.

Hi John..... You just KNEW I was talking about Africa.

World hunger has declined because of international trade, as have political conflicts. It is essential to peace that countries work together. Countries specialize in goods and this provides stability. Most countries don't have the land or the resources to produce everything by themselves. North Korea mostly tries too and many there starve. It's always good to produce more yourself with gardening but that alone is not going to cut it. And farmers often produce far more than what the domestic market demands.

Hi.. would you not agree also that many countries get "over looked" because there isn't anything "in it" for the countries that could help them? These are just my own personal thoughts .
