<DIV>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. </DIV>

<DIV>And what country doesn't know how to fish? :P</DIV>
