So you are assured of famine in the future? I have observed people act all sorts of ways under all sorts of conditions and I am saying that if someone has to they will steal the coins of a dead mans eyes but if they can they'll buy you a cup of coffee. Believing either scenario is not "blind faith" it is a conclusion based on past observations.

Blind faith is thinking we will overcome X via technology that hasn't been invented because we must.

I am saying this is not a blind faith scenario, thats all.

ORM,

This is exactly what is happening right now in Iraq. BUsh is killing Iraqis so Halliburton and friends can steal their oil and then slosh the money they make around the private accounts of their friends. =)
