Yeah thats right, comrade!!! Capitalism embraces the rich, yet stomps on the poor. If you have access to the Internet, capitalism has probably treated you well, as one of its fortunate children. But what about the majority of the world which DOESNT have the Internet??? Capitalism is all about the 'if it isn't happening to me, it isn't happening at all' attitude. Which is fine, I guess, if you happen to be well-off like this computer community is. But what about humanity? you know, the concept of caring about our fellow brothers and sisters who are dying around the world? Can you really sleep well at night, knowing that not far away from your house a poor innocent child is starving to death? Because I can't. And yes, capitalism is to blame. Thank you.
