MC, you’re a nong.
So, you look at a problem, label its cause “social and political reasons,” and conclude that the appropriate solution is guns and ammo? Whoa! MC the big bad revolutionary!
Attacking the hunger problem with guns and ammo is not going to fix anything, it’s just going to create more instability. Revolutions have never achieved anything more worthwhile than publicity for the revolutionaries.
Power structures derive from the natures of the people involved in them and the social and physical environment of which those people form a part; revolutions may change the faces but they don’t make more than a cosmetic change in the power structures. You can’t actually DO a revolution unless the power structure being overthrown is moribund anyway.
Seems to me that the defining social trend of the last few decades, at least in those countries where starvation is not a problem for the majority, has been a relentless drive toward increasing convenience in all things, and damn the consequences.
Also seems to me that the folks who set up the Hunger Site are very smart, because that site taps right into the culture of convenience to generate revenue for an activity that most people see as worthwhile i.e. sharing the existing supplies of food and expertise around a little more equitably.
No matter how many people click on the Hunger Site, world hunger will not just go away. I don’t think you’ll find anybody disagreeing with that. But unless you can convince me that the programs behind the site do more harm than good, I think I’ll click on it whenever I remember to.
Not because I’m a wannabe saint; not because I intend to go around showing everybody how grouse I am; just because it’s easy, I don’t see how it does any harm, and it may do some good.
Spare me your indignant, irrelevant, self-serving pseudo-moralizing.
Need a boost???
Up you go!

Slipping to page two?
I don’t think so.
You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.
