Applied Disenfranchisement
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Something occurred to me this morning, while driving quietly along the stretch of highway that is the MASSPIKE without a peripheral care to the swooshing world around me. Why is it that while many Central and Latin American countries reap in poverty like that of a honey bee in honey, the mainstay of the world( the elite or fortune-fortunate) wield their future in their change-purse? When did the government of these countries, no matter how chaotic, disruptive, communistic, or programmed, stop caring about their own denizen? When did the mechanism of wealth become someone "else's" problem and not that of the native country in question?

I'm not a xenophobe nor am I am some neo-conversation illustrating his distain for sharing one's country's vast resources with another. But who I am is someone who finds disagreeing chagrin with the way some policy-makers, wealth barons, and governments patrol within themselves, while many of their own are suffering through hunger, disease, and globalization.

Why is it that when the tin cup or paper bowl is passed around the parish, its only the newcomers who are asked to pay, while most of the richer natives ignore its presence all together? Again, I am not making a objective point that superpowers should begin to reinforce limits of charitable contributions, but more we should see a greater effort by these countries to do so.
