"Democracy decides who (sic) the food should be distributed." And that's why pure Democracy is equivalent to mob rule. "And we social scientist's and dems know to cure poverty using social science. (sic)" And you do know the meaning of the word 'Hubris' do you not? And you have heard of the Soviet Union and Mao, right? You had your chance to use social 'science' to cure all ills. Show me an example of the 'science' in actual use in the real world. Show how it solves poverty other than by just doling out money? The only social science I know that works is used in advertising. Good research, grounded in observational (and quantitative) data. R2O
