asdfdfdf @Level3.net thumbs down from: Midak	reply to pnh102 Re: UN is Worthless Their argument would be that the two are related. In order to be able to feed themselves and keep a roof over their heads people need to participate fully in the economy. The concern is not just with providing charity to feed and house people, but with creating the conditions that allow them to become self-sufficient. If you want people to be able to become self sufficient they have to have access to the tools of the modern economy and an increasingly important tool is communications access. Societies without the proper communications and transportation infrastructure generally remain societies that are perpetually economically backward and isolated. Obviously this is complicated by the many other reasons that people may be economically isolated, including things like wars, perverse and corrupt governments etc., but I don't think the failure of the UN to solve global poverty and war necessarily renders their argument illegitimate.

You start with the foundation because that is what will keep the house standing. You don't roll into the dirt and drop a line of fiber optic cable and say this will build you up and get you going. "Yeah, until you get bricks and lumber, you can at least sit in the dirt and download porn." Once you have a solid structure, then you bring in your utilities, not before.
