He was appalled by the degradation following exploitation - & thought [in 1970's Guide to Economics, Peace & laughter] - the answer was coordinated benevolence from the rest of the world with selfish interests put aside. Is that happening in a coordinated way??

Live the american dream.....where you can make it long as you try and try? If they come here, I have a spare room - I would truly and genuinely be willing to give to a person/a family - If we can help save ONE life wouldn't it be worth it? Of course ideally it would be great to save them all.....but I know that isn't possible. At least they can have the means to safely live here no?
