12Clicks has a point. I know it sounds pretty harsh, but this world's actions are based on survival of the fittest. Lots of pro's and con's to go with this argument, but sometimes the starving children commercials skew our society's perspectives. These are very complicated situations...
Picture the ongoing famine in the area...kind of Confucius meets Sam Kinnison:
"Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime." - Confucius
and
"You live in a fucking desert! Move to where the food is!" - Sam Kinnison
