[ tim sevener whuxn!orb] I find it hard to believe the following statement: >> >You did not point out that in fact most countries in the world have >> >a far more uneven food distribution than China. >> Of course I didn't; there is no reason to believe it. If you read >> my "Food for China" note you will find some factors of unequal >> distribution that exist(ed) in China but not in most countries. >Jan, are you *blind* or what? The unfortunate fact is that *most* >Third World countries have *grave* problems with food distribution. >[examples follow] *Of course they do*. Poor countries have problems with just about everything. (I firmly believe, though, that *production* is the key to the solution). I just pointed out that in Mao's China these distribution problems were *multiplied*. >People throughout the world are starving - that is no joke, Jan. >It is a catastrophe. Then stop apologizing for the social systems that make them starve MORE (and more unequally) -as well as kill them outright. Read up, Tim. Literature on China is proliferating right now. And people are changing their minds, long set. One extra note: the *present* administration in China is doing fine. I believe Deng to have as much right to immortality as any leader in history.
