My gosh, Mike, if hunger and thirst cause revolution, can you not see that hunger and thirst are the direct result of economic disparity pushed to the extreme!!!!

Where the hell do you think the trajectory of economic disparity points?

Poverty is without doubt relative to the society in which one lives, and not an absolute. Lack of food and shelter and clothing is death's door, well beyond poverty.

But  these are differences of economic judgement. What about the Gospel--are we expected to find guidance therein, or was Jesus just another do-good cleric talking about what his knows not?
