American Hunger

FRIENDS AROUND THE WORLD,  does it shock you to learn that one of every six americans has a "struggle with hunger"? those are the exact words: "struggle with hunger". the exact number of independently verified studies is difficult to ascertain; suffice to say that various U.S. government agencies and private research organizations, like universities, seem to yield similar hunger statistics.

ONE IN SIX?  how can this be, in the land of opportunity?  are seventeen per cent of the american people lazy, unambitious, and stupid? or are there conditions throughout american society which contribute to the production of hunger?

how is it possible to go hungry in america? isn't america the greatest country on earth, where everyone has a chance for success?

maybe most of the seventeen per cent have plenty to eat most of the time, but have to skip a pizza once a month when the ole paycheck comes a bit too late. let's hope so.

every body deserves a job. a job is an inalienable right, not a privilege. whatever socialism is required to bring the jobless rate to zero, bring it. has unfettered capitalism ever brought the unemployment rate to zero, anywhere? if so, bring it.

unemployment and poverty are twin diseases of humanity, along with warfare. none of the above is necessary, or inevitable, but a choice, made by us. people who are given jobs by a socialistic safety net should be required to keep their jobs.

with seven billion people here and another two billion on the way, how about a little world wide economic cooperation and planning?

if we don't redistribute wealth, perhaps we can at least bring ourselves to distribute food, clothing, and shelter.

extending life, and reducing the rate at which new people enter the world, will result in the many old being cared for by the few young. those of us who want to live longer will have to care for ourselves longer, and to justify our longevity by living simply and by helping others simply live.

no human being should ever suffer from other than the momentary hunger of soon to be fulfilled anticipation famish.  no human being should linger long in hunger. its our problem, we should fix it, post haste.
