It is sad how the world suffers from so many maladies. But let us stop to think for a minute of the causes. If the governments of the world, including my own in North America, would consider the needs of the people who send representatives to government, they could solve these problems.
Professional politicians, so many being lawyers/titled Esquires who obey London/the Vatican, care mostly for their own grasping for wealth and power, while the people they supposedly represent be damned.
Government is for protection of its people and to aid them in being safe and earning a living. Governments with central banks controlled and run by corrupt moneychangers care not for these things.
America's "war on poverty," for example, is simply a fraud, with no intention of solving poverty here. Their policies in fact cause misery, poverty, unemployment, destroy our soil, etc. If the governments here, in Africa, and everywhere else would function for the peoples' good, we could solve the world's problems. We would then even prevent wars, if politicians were honest and moral, not warring to control more of the land areas around the world. We need common sense and decency to solve the world's problems.
