Re: World wide Humanitarian crisis

I have a slightly different take on Overpopulation relative to humanitarian crisis. I see an obscenely unequal and unjust world. A world whereby 62 persons own as much wealth as 1/2 the worlds population. Where one fifth get to live in relative comfort and abundance while the other four fifths live in squalor. Ignoring for a moment the issue of sheer numbers of people and how we are very overpopulated, I find the cavalier attitude of seamlessly now transitioning to lifeboat ethics as one further insult to the sense of caring and solidarity among humans. As those more fortunate close the doors on those less fortunate , let us at least concede this further injustice of the trajectory of the human species. After all money is just an extension of the brutal ethos of might makes right.
