: Gerard writes:: : OK, lets turn away from the economy for a little bit..."
: He writes some more after that, but it's really not worth responding to. Capitalism is an economic system. If we "turn away from the economy", than we are discussing something else entirely.
: Of course the USA does a lot of nasty things around the world. But many non-capitalist countries have similar histories, Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, Communist China, the Confederate States of America, the pre-capitalist British Empire, Mongols, the Romans, the Huns...don't get me started.
: Gerard writes that he's frustrated. I often am myself; there's terrible evil in the world. But at least Capitalism offers the poor people of the world a chance...we can work for ourselves and not for some emperor, slavemaster, or Central Committe. We can strike for better wages -- and spend those wages on things we want, not on sky -high taxes and handouts to people don't work.
: Of course, we have problems. The USA has the lowest unemployment rate in the world, but we're still not satisfied. We have to learn how to make sure that people who work hard get the real market price for their wages. Capitalism is not very good at making long-term investments in society, such as education. There is work to be done.
: But please, let's not move backwards and imitate the starving non-capitalist countries of the world. Let's move forward.

OK.. but you did not respond to my remark on how world could be saved it was not for the evil rich capitalists... that is what I am talking about. So in way I am NOT turning away from economy... and also I do not think the huns did anything to promote the destruction of the human race... please think before you write!!! I am not talking about the guns I am talking about nuclear weapons which the Americans so dearly love and posses!!! The US promoted the cold war therefore causing whatever hunger we have NOW! I am not saying we did not have hunger before but back then it was unavoidable becuase of droughts and what have you but now it is not the question of do we have enough food its do we have enough money to buy it! Some do and some unfortunates do not, and I am starting to think that perhaps we do need a third world war to wipe out people like you (sorry anger made me write that I do not want to hurt you in any way shape or form, I just got carried away, sorry. People need to care.. it is becuase of people who just don't give a shit becuase it is not involved in their pathetic lives... you nat tell me... do you care that America killed 5 million children (indirectly) in the Gulf War becuase they chose to cluster bomb the farmers and thir lands instead of military installatuion???? Please answer me that! You probably did not even know about it! And out of all countries.. it was the USA to do this!!!
Allright I think I have said enough now please think then write. Thank and I wish everyone a good day.
