[Vision2020] Say What?

[Donovan Arnold]

Tom,
 
Obviously it isn't doing enough if people believe in equal spread of the world's wealth as many of you socialists do. In fact, I think since the establishment of the Peace Corps, the spread of wealth has increased. Perhaps you think this might be because the Peace Corps is a failure. Or maybe it is because the wealth of the US is spreading more exponentially than third world countries which don't produce much. 
 
And what country doesn't know how to fish? :P
 
Best Regards,
 
Donovan

Arnold inquires:

"Pehaps what we should ask instead is, how can we work to improve the 
living conditions of 90% of the world?"

You may be on to something, Arnold.

What we need is a group of people willing to donate/contribute their time 
for the sole purpose of improving the living conditions of the less 
fortunate in other countries . . . third-world countries, if you will.

A "corps" of volunteers dispersed throughout the world, not just bearing 
fish but teaching the local inhabitants how to fish (as the analogy 
goes).  This might also subsequently result in a culture at peace, not 
only among themselves, but with the world at large . . . a kind of corps 
for peace.

And we, the United States, can be the organizers/originators of such 
a "corps for peace".

This Corps for Peace can assume a globally-beneficial agenda of teaching 
people in less fortunate third-world countries skills like farming. 
medicine, etc. etc.

Maybe even . . . dare I mention . . . 

Nah, it'll never catch on.  We should have thought of this Corps for Peace 
a lot sooner than now . . . maybe back in the early 60s, under Kennedy.

Nice try, though.
