I understand and appreciate. Looks like we are digging the tunnel through the same mountain. My approach: give charity (this probably sucks a mile, but I cant help it) and - when my schedules start to thin - start with Caritas, AI, local scouts or parish (or possibly all of them). There's not much I can do to fight AIDS in Africa - except send money -. But maybe I can do something to stop substance/spouse/family abuse in my neighbourhood, teach kids how to fly kites - I have flown enough of them when 5 I guess; -, do evening classes in computer science. Love thy neighbour (at least) as much as yourself. No need to love some stranger far out somewhere. Closeby there's enough work to do. dj

<Why ask why? Because all my life, or most of it, anyway, I've wondered why there is poverty and suffering in the midst of abundance. With the hope, of course, that if we understood it then we would stop it. > That's a very simple question to answer CB. IQs range from near zero to 200. Those with big numbers [unlike golf scores] do very, very well. They cope with life's challenges easily and earn a lot of money. Those with low numbers find calculating linear regression analyses of stock market moves difficult, so earn very little. Because zero is always the lowest IQ and poverty always starts at $0 and there is no upper limit to either, the gap between richest and poorest and smartest and most retarded will always increase as opportunities continue to increase. The only way to narrow the gap is to cannibalize the smart and productive. Cannibalism is NOT a good idea, to me anyway. Dumb Aztecs hoarding gold will not do well. Mqurice
