It takes all kinds of people to make a world

Glenn, the voice behind Hi! I'm Black, says if you think the world will ever be free of poverty, you are dreaming.

Everyone wants to win the lottery right? If everyone hit the lotto tommorrow [sic] and won 10 million dollars, inflation would rise, and our coveted millions wouldn't be worth nearly what it would be if only 1 person had won.
And there is that thing about the law of the jungle: that eternal struggle against adversity that proves your ability to survive.

I am curious! Was Jesus Christ inpoverished?
He didn't own any personal possessions, other than the clothes he wore.
Is having wealth a blessing or a test?
What sets man apart from the rest of the animal world?
Why do some of us, as men, have the ability to think and reason?
Which LIFE is more important, the one we are living in now,,,,,,,OR THE NEXT LIFE?
OH!!! I have more to say, but my lovely wife, just called me to come and eat breakfast. So, you will have to wait for any additional information.

Frank, those are such interesting questions. I will have to give them some deep thought before I could hazard giving my opinion on such. I hope your breakfast was enjoyable. Mine is bubbling in a pit of acid at this very moment.

Another point is that poverty will always be with us because we treat it as a relative phenomenon rather than absolute. In much of the world today, poverty no longer means starving slowly, instead it means only having one television.

We can at least feed everyone - though we need to shoot a few people first so that the food can get through.
