Thoughts on Poverty ... postscript

Although I took a different look on the idea of poverty in my last entry, something that was by no means an original idea, there is a fiscal reality worth looking at again. In an entry called “The World at (not so) Large...” I mentioned the changing ratio between the world’s richest and it’s poorest. The reason I mention this again is that recent history shows that while the “lords of this (global) manor” may appear well-intentioned at times, even the fiscal facts vehemently contradict their promises and apparent intentions.
