re: #298 Obdicut

Not at all true. They share responsibily in proportion to how much power they have to affect the society.

That is so utterly fatuous. Some dude decides to speak up in favor of democracy, he gets shot in the face by a warlord’s minion. He chose to have different. The result was not having more, it was being shot in the face.

As I said, the change has to come from within. And not bombing them would help. Getting NGOs on the ground, the Red Crescent and other organizations like that. Progress has to be slow and steady. But not pretending that they’re choosing to live this way is also part of it.

But they do make the choice not to improve things when they choose to riot or to assist in stealing aid monies. They aren’t directly choosing to continue to be poor in doing so, but they are choosing to maintain the culture of violence and poverty that keeps them poor.
