You misunderstand me, Shakran. I never said that we shouldn't fix our own problems, I just stated that our problems seem to pale in comparison with other problems. We in the US are concerned with making sure there are enough people above the poverty line - in other countries they are just concerned with having enough people over the HUNGER line.
If this is an "Ethiopia is worse" problem, then so be it. Sometimes you just have to concede that indeed, Ethiopia is just worse off than we are.
