NW,

I don't feel guilty about it.

Then why did you say this?


For just one example, I live in a brand new house which probably consumes as much of the world's resources in terms of materials to build and maintain, water use, and energy, to support a small African village. I know, of course, that just using less water here won't move the water to Africa. But the cost of this lifestyle is probably also more than the annual income of that same village, and that I could do something about if I wanted to.

And this:

But while I am eating Bryers Ice Cream, sliced roast beef from the deli, and all sorts of other delicacies while their children go hungry, how can I realistically expect them to think the world is a just and fair place?

Sure sounds like a "guilt trip" to me.

If you really care, do something about it instead of whining on a message board about how good you have it and how you wish they had had a better chance at it.




Have fun,
Phil
