Seeing fat cats in Wall Street getting bailed out is, although necessary to prevent a worldwide economic depression, nonetheless outrageous. The fat cats recklessly and greedily spend money as if it grows on trees and getting their golden parachutes while the rank-and-file workers gets screwed. That is absolutely despicable.

Imagine just how much of the world’s problems would disappear almost overnight if we use that $700 billion to bail out the poor, sick and suffering in Africa, Latin America, or any other Third World country where the contrasts between the filthy rich and dirt-poor is so stark. Alas, we live in a global society that values greed, competition, and plunder over cooperation, sharing, preservation, and helping out the disadvantage and disabled.

Anyway, don’t mean to rant here, but I’ll be adding you to my blogroll on my blog I’ll probably be talking about my country’s disproportionate spending on its military over social welfare programs, which you have already discussed a few months ago, and what programs could be better spent on.
