Ah the argument sounds sweet. But I'm just not sure it works the way we wish it would. "The idea that somebody consuming things in the USA is somehow depriving the starving, huddled masses, yearning "to breathe free, is false" We are at the very least depriving many areas of the world of their environment. You may state your premise as if it were true, but that never makes it so. Alas and alack. It might be true, but it probably isn't. The truth might lie between your happy piggy optimism and my rather bleak and jaded world view- I would even be willing to bet some small sum of money that reality is somewhere in the middle. .
