We live in two different worlds and it is virtually impossible at times to find that common ground. As much as we share in life's experiences, we also are different. I'm not sure we'll ever be together as a nation or worldwide community.

What's more interesting would be to think about what it is like in the rest of the world. We are spoiled in the U.S.

What we have here is a false dichotomy. There is no reason why we can't do BOTH. I see both those next door and those in the next continent as my neighbors. I care for both equally. Too often we value the lives of our own countrymen more than those who are not. I think that's wrong. There is absolutely no reason why anyone on this planet need go hungry. The earth produces FOUR TIMES the amount of food necessary to feed every individual on this planet. The fact that there are starving people anywhere can mostly be blamed on greed and misplaced priorities on the part of world governments. If we work to solve the problems of the poorest among the human population, we will simultaneously improve conditions for those in more affluent places like the USA, Britain, UAE, etc. The average person in these affluent countries throws away more nutritious food than the average person in a third world country receives as food. It's this sort of thing that we need to change in order to feed the hungry here and elsewhere.
