As a thought the campain was problably a good thing, but there are serveral reasons as to why I don’t like (i.e. won’t join it). Today, most of the world’s resources (~90% i think it is) are owned by a minority of it’s people (about 10%). So if we should divide these resources evenly among the earth’s population, the living standards in the industrialized countries will drop dramatically. It wouldn’t even be possible to do it and keep the governmental systems as they are today.

Of course there is the idea that we could just improve the living standards in the third world without changing our own lifestyle, but unfortunately that wouldn’t be possible, at least not if we were to improve it so that their standards are anywhere near ours. That is because if we were to do that we would need about three earths more to have enough resources.

Some people would probably call me ignorant, but I think that we cannot do very much to improve the lifes in the third world. I’m not againts humanitarian operations or so, it’s just that I feel there is no meaning in spending lots of money on things that doesn’t make sense really. They could at least start with a plan of some sort (i.e. 1. take over the world. 2. Create one world-wide country/government. 3. Start evening out the differenses among people.)

There is probably people who think that I don’t know enough about the subject, but I know just as much as any normal induvidual would know when he/she is asked to give away some of their money or sign up to make the leaders of their countries give away money.
