What to do?
What to do with all the poverty in the world?
We all know that poverty is part of a cycle almost imposible to break, and the number of poor people is growing by the minute. But first of all let me leave this clear: when I say "poor" I refer to people that acctually die of hunger, people that do not have an active part in society nor in the economical wheel. They just exist to suffer. So.
So what's their reason to exist? Do they have one? Are they here to remind us of how lucky we are?
When I was in Quiego I had the chance to see poverty, but not "extreme poverty". I mean this people still have food (corn and beans, but food nonetheless), they had the chance to put clothes on and the opportunity to have a decent life (full of limitations but also full of pride).
What can we do for them? Is there something to be done for those millions of people out there that die of hunger was I write this?
Bargh!.... I dunno.
Just the other day my brother and I were joking about the option of killing them all... we just nuke the poor fellows and end their misery.
*HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT INHUMAN BASTARD!*
Yes, yes... maybe that's what you are thinking. And guess what? You are probably right, but hang on... Is that such a bad idea?
These people know nothing but suffering... they live an average of 20 years of which most of them are fill with hunger, thrist, disease and pain.
Ending their misery is such a bad idea? Is it really such a bad idea?
What do you think?

Actually, it wasn't really "my brother and I"... It was YOUR genius brother who came up with the master plan. (aka. "me").
I mean, you do have to be a cold hearted bastard. Or at least think as one for a while. But this people really just suffer, live to suffer, and unfortunatelly they don't really make any positive changes in the world... And worst?... They keep on mating and reproducing...
Maybe not killing them, but making them all sterile as you suggested?. To end the "issue" in one generation or two?...
... I feel bad just writing this. A huge part of me does not agree... He he he. But... Think about it with a cold heart and mind... It does make some scary sense.
