I remember when I was in the 5th or 6th grade ('62-'64) I saw a map with population densities. I marveled at the population density in Wyoming, which was 2 per square mile. I've been in the deserts of the southwestern states and observed that sort of population density. While I like my quiet time, that's a bit extreme, for me.
I DO agree with Khem, though. The resources exist, even at the moment, but getting the food to those people is the real problem (worldwide, but not necessarily in 1st world countries).
I was talking with an acquaintance yesterday, and he buys completely into the "Welfare Widow" mentality of not providing aid to those who are impoverished. He and I are miles apart on this issue, and reminding him that it wouldn't take much for him to be in that position didn't phase him in the least. I've lived at the bottom before, and our family could have used the help, but even if it had been available where we lived, my dad would have refused it. He as much as told me that, "We don't need charity!"
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
