No, I haven't been denied either food or water. And I doubt very much you have unless you were denying yourself water because you thought it would "rust your pipes" and prefer bountiful quantities of liquor instead. Which often seems to be the case.

I told you that I have not been denied either one. Can you not comprehend simple English? So far in my life I have been blessed and have never suffered hunger except that which I chose. And I have never been denied clean water.

As human population encroaches into your idealist dream, you pay taxes for further methods by government to control the quality of food and water you enjoy, unabashedly. Those taxes and quality control methods to control your food and water could have been placed elsewhere within your humble existence; that is unless you live in a cave.

With increased population growth comes the profiting HUGE_FOOD_INDUSTRIAL_COMPLEX that take away individual agrarian rights by driving up property taxes. Those same taxes cause you to move or become displaced from the land.

I missed this fine post a bit earlier. You nailed the perspective with the Great Irish Potato famine in the 1800s. Ireland has still to recover.

How many times does it take to get it through your head? I HAVE NOT been denied food or water. To the degree that some populations have it is almost always because of the policies of their government(s). Sure, I feel for people who are hungry and who don't have good water. But I don't feel guilty about it because I didn't cause it.

I HAVE NOT been denied food or water

To paraphrase, you mean, "I THINK I HAVE NOT been denied food or water." Let me attempt to show the issue a bit more clearly......

With an expanding population base: more government. With more government: more controls. With more controls: more taxes. With more taxes: less freedom. With less freedom: less property. With less property: less water and food.

Hope that above summation helps you more ably to understand the issues you seem to ignore.

BS! Don't tell me what I think or don't think. I KNOW that I have never gone hungry other than by my own choice. That's a fact whether you want to believe it or not. And I have NEVER been denied water when I was thirsty. That time may come but hasn't yet. Now don't you need to be calling your buddy, Al Gore, and whine to him about how not many people are paying any attention to you and him about globull warming these days?

You just don't realize that you have gone without water or food for anytime. But, I wager you stand in the long lines at COSCO or WALMART or any SUPERMARKET buying your bottled purified water and pre-packaged foods, now.

And beyond your denial of the truth about loss of water and food ..... while standing in the long lines to be checked-out, I wager you had to pee ..... and you couldn't because you would lose your place in line. OUCH!

And, say, that you "live off the fat of the land", the EPA is checking the way you grow your crops and water table, ready to cite you because you are abusive to nearby neighbors.

Does the wager really mean some significant amount of money? If so, you shall have to categorically PROVE, ownership of property which just may be a rental agreement. And you never go to any store standing in line.

More to go as you push some inconsequential point. You must have blown a blood vessel over my post.

(note to self: be kind to James .... he is a quiet man never standing in a store buying water or food)

Actually, there is a solution to this problem. Just recon out the nearest Mormon family with a two year food supply, off the suckers and load up the Hummer you hijacked earlier from the soft bodied rich yuppie you also recon out, and take it to your hide you prepared in advance in case of a society busting disaster.

And fishermen hold flowers
Between the windows of the sea

Where lovely mermaids flow
And nobody has to think too much
About Desolation Row

And the only sound that’s left
After the ambulances go
Is Cinderella sweeping up
On Desolation Row

Now the moon is almost hidden
The stars are beginning to hide

The fortune-telling lady
Has even taken all her things inside
All except for Cain and Abel
And the hunchback of Notre Dame
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
And the Good Samaritan, he’s dressing
He’s getting ready for the show
He’s going to the carnival tonight

On Desolation Row

Peace bucky!

Indeed. When you can talk some mental midget into doing something that will literally get them killed in your place and you place no value on any life but your own, as the ones pushing the suicide bombers, of course you will take out the mental midget and maybe some "infidels" along with him.
