Be honest Americans, how often do the thoughts of the starving masses in third world countries cross your mind?

Shit I know if I went over to the areas where those oppressed are starving at the hands of their oppressors it would be like machine gun preacher all over again. Who's with me?

I live in a Canadian city with the highest instance of homeless people - there is impoverishment on these very street corners (complicated with drug addiction and mental illness, however).

Seemingly, your former president Bill Clinton has positive intent with his Global Initiative - promoting interdependence. And then the US has its various micro-loans. Obama has his "Power Africa" initiative.

Effort versus efficacy I suppose.

While there is tragedy across the globe.. if I were an American.. I would have PLENTY to be angry and saddened with at home.
