| The problem with the first world existing is the belief (mistaken) that wealth is just "out there." It isn't. It has to be produced to begin with. Your first world would have had to BEGIN as world #2 and likely would become world #3, which is what we have, with the government stealing what we produce and giving it out willy-nilly. The government is indeed rich through its thievery so it wouldn't be fair to assume they deserved it. :)
Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act of depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest. Mohandas Gandhi |
