I don't understand your logic here???? People are suffering so we must suffer for being more industrious??? 1st world countries send billions in aid to 3rd world countries each year (gov't and aid agencies) yet all that seems to occur is the installation of one tinpot dictator after another who rips off all the aid and kills large numbers of the general population. Like I said, totally confused by your post on this thread and its relevance to the topic. Prices are rising and it needs to be discussed as to why that is happening and the effect it has on everybody concerned. Could it be due to careless governing by the powers that be??? Thats why we live in a democracy, we can move the offending party on. The more expensive it gets to buy basic things like power and water etc the less likely 3rd world countries are going to be able to share in our wealth. People will not be able to donate to charities that try to service these countries and the technology will become totally out of reach (its not just the unit cost that will increase). How does that help anybody???
