HUNGER & ANGER:AN EMERGING GLOBAL CRISIS

Helga
You are right about the use of food crops for energy.This is one other major source of the crisis.The use of corn and cassava that are staples in most of the 3rd world as alternative energy has not help the world.However,I cannot blame the West totally for this.They are only trying to protect their interest.The rulers of the 3rd world have over the years squander the huge human & material resources in investing in corruption.

They ve abandoned their agricultural sector that is supposed to help them achieve internal food security.That  is another major source of this crisis.

Im in agreement with you on that one totally.

Its not a western problem only but a problem for every one.
Look at lots of African countries Mugabe we already did mention. How on earth could they have let there land go like that? Well you know what i mean when i say that.

There are many more who could provide there own food but warfare is more important then providing for there own people and they are waiting for handouts. And sadly those handouts often dont go to the right people but the powerful juntas who sell it on the black markets.
 
Look even at Nigeria how much food it could produce but still you have to import.
You got the climate water and the people nobody should have to go hungry in a land like that.

Well im sure you start to know me a bit by now as i just could go on and on about this.
Things like this are just my passion.

i cast n bind.....dont worry....d credit crundh will soon be shaken off...

Zie this credit crunch has just started.
Although the share market and banks have guaranteed savings im sure it will crash at least a few more times.
Lots has to do with the American housing market. As the banks did loan to much to people who couldn't afford to pay it back in so called low mortgages to start of with and then coming into full affect after a few year they took them out.
That will peak next year so it will be worse for a while to come.
This week there was a program on tv here it was filmed in 2007 it was a eye opener indeed.

Its wort wile watching as its not bayest 
 

The credit crunch has started to roll big time and the world is on the edge of a financial disaster with unemployment rising so the economy will keeps rolling down for a while.

Godsson as the markets will keep crashing the plight of the starving people in the world will be put on the back burner as it only will become talk.
It is happening already aid is getting scarcer by the day.

But having said that if country's like the Congo and Zimbabwe can provide people with weapons they could also could try to feed there own. 

This crisis seem gloomy everyday.If we think about the statistics of hungry people in Nigeria(a relatively stable polity)alone,then we can appreciate the anormity of this crisis.If things continue at present rate,mankind might be heading towards hunger induced extinction.God forbid.

Maybe guys in our next life this world will be a better one. So nobody will have problems with there skin colour or race. There believes or no believes maybe this generation will do better then the one before.

At least i hope so as nothing ever seems to change.

The hippies had a go at it but look they are of age now and not much difference there.
It was all peace and love but when the big man comes on the top he changes and forgets about his/her ideals. And every thing seems to be ed up for now.

Our parents did fight in wars for what im sure they will ask that question when they will look back. They fought for a better world and freedom and maybe in there eyes it was for a little time.

i know its a sad story im writing here but it just the facts how the world turns into circles.
The next generation comes and blames the one before and nothing nothing really changes at all.

Accdn 2 the UN rating, Nig is the most happiest country on earth and yet very hungry......
