Starvation as a commodity

I was reading Popular Science and found this article very interesting.

Yet another example of how our system has become so deeply flawed.  The forces that govern our lives become more and more imaginary.  Prices are determined by speculative marketing, retirement funds are lost by investment broker gambling, worthless products are sold as derivitives, nanosecond stock market ghost transactions that no one understands alter the world economy, banks are foreclosing on homes that don't have mortgages, we're rebuilding Iraq and Afghanistan while our own country's infrastructure is falling apart (admittedly, that's more of a "you broke it, you bought it deal," but we really need to learn to be more careful when we go over to the neighbor's house to play), we complain about unemployment while we give away our jobs to foreign countries, we complain about immigrants taking our jobs even though no one wanted those jobs in the first place, we're selling guns to drug cartels to find out if they have guns, our banks are investing in Al-Qaeda who spend the money on bombs to blow up everything including our banks, there are rich people right now buying up future water reserves for the coming water crisis so they can sell us the only water left, the government's printing money that doesn't exist to pay back a country that uses slaves that they keep alive with suicide nets so we can keep buying the stuff made by those slaves that is covered in poison and that we didn't need in the first place... we've gone utterly insane over money.  It's not just a means to an end.  Money is it.  It's everything.  It's the end all and be all of the American race now.  Rich people complain because they only have millions or billions of dollars while a close friend of mine watched her husband die from Parkinson's disease only to have her house, her car and everything she owns taken from her because of it while she worked two jobs and took care of him.  The government can't make do with trillions despite having a military that even the military thinks is getting too big. 

Okay, breathe deep FH.  Relax.  Sorry, it's been one of those weeks and I had to get that rant out. 

SERENITY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
