I could put together a list as long as my arm of European and American politicians whose focus on helping the general population is totally missing. In addition, unfortunately, many policies of western countries, especially around agriculture, make it very difficult for smaller or third-world countries to prosper agriculturally.<br /><br />Jeff: you hit the nail on the head. It is charisma that the have-nots follow, not logic. And I suspect I would too.

And, yes, that happens far too ofter here in the US, too. <br /><br />Interesting point on how Juju's wealthy ways are accepted by his poor followers. Somewhere I read a study that the poor and oppressed want to feel as though they're being led by someone who's made it. As if they don't want to be reminded of their station, but be inspired by how things could be for them. Juju may have read the same article.Jeffrey Sigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718317707555064653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-17222807635041901602011-11-03T14:27:26.940-04:002011-11-03T14:27:26.940-04:00This is heartbreaking.

I feel very sheltered from this here in the USA, where the Kardashians are what passes for news.

The time for submission of claims ended about a year or so ago. - StanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
