That is indeed an interesting point of view, but I don't see a lick of
logic in it..

One step at a time, here.  Now it's you who appears to be thinking we need
to fix everyone else's problems.  I don't see it as our place to step in
in Ireland, yea though I'm of Irish descent.  You must be pretty far Left
if you think that we need to erradicate all grief and suffering in all
areas of the globe.  Or are you in the Miss America pageant?  "If I could
do one thing, it would be World Peace"
