For the past month of so I've essentially ignored a hemorrage of mindless drivel from sevener about libertarians this, government that, how traffic in New Jersey (the most policed state in the nation) is an example of anarchy, and further insults to any sense of truth, honesty, and reasoned discussion. This latest piece of distilled paranoia and class hatred, however, represents a new low. Starvation in today's world occurs not quite but almost exclusively because of "democratic" collectivist intervention. Ethiopia was a net food exporter before its Communist takeover; so was Russia. If you're interested in a study of the phenomenon on a global scale, try "A Pattern for Failure" by Sven Rydenfelt. It is somewhat depressing... In espousing the very socialistic systems that are responsible for the carnage, tim displays his political naivete and ignorance; in pretending at the same time to feel for the victims, he exhibits an utter callous disregard for any human decency whatsoever. --JoSH
