whats wrong

whats wrong with this world? it is the year 2009 and most of the world lives in grinding poverty. disease, lack of basic human needs and seemingly endless civil strife continue to plauge us as a people. i live in the united states, universally hated and loved at the same time. but can the world survive with some nations taking a large percentage of the resources and other countries buried in debt and misery. there will never be peace on earth, between jews and moslems, catholic and protestants, and all the hundreds of other ''little'' wars that wrack our planet daily. nobody thinks long term anymore. we desperately grab for oil, gold, water without thinking how this mad rush to use up everything actually hurts the earth. as long as we have ours, forget about everybody else. if you drop a stone into a pond the ripples will reverberate to the other side. if youdrop a bomb in one country something bad usually happens someplace else. you would think we, as a people would have learned something after all theses years we have inhabited earth. that we might have evolved into somebody better, smarter. i wonder.......what just have we become? jc
