Go Green for Famine!

When two of the largest retailers in the wealthiest country in the world begin to ration a staple food as basic and abundant as rice there is cause for concern. Food prices are rising faster than at any time in recent history, at the same time fuel costs are beyond reasonable.

Yet, it's Earth Week! Go Green!

Throughout history famine has not been caused by food shortages. Famine is political. Period. Famine is caused by government attempts to kill a group of people, by government attempts to control a group of people, or by government ineptitude.

Take your pick, no matter what, we lose.
