Not what's best for the few.

I heard an interesting statistic on the radio today. Can't vouch yet for its accuracy. But I'll check it out. Seems hard to believe. But really, I suspect it's true. That the 1,000 richest people in the world have more than the poorest 2.5 billion people in the world. Yes, folks, that's a glaring example of the gap between the rich and the poor. It's obscene. It's immoral. It's a disgrace. Yes, another reason why we have to scrap capitalism. And find a better economic system. We're moving closer to a global economy. And I think a basic tenet that we need to keep in mind is doing the common good. Let's do what's good and best for mankind as a whole. Not what's best for a few. --Jim Broede
