Students Experience Feast, Famine [distribution of wealth lesson]

“By drawing lots, it shows them that it's all by luck.

What a horrible message this is! Success in life is not "luck", unless you subscribe to the theory that "luck" is 90% perspiration.

We can be earners or beggars. The choice is not luck, it's desire.

Have a few of the kids try to give the rice crowd some of the feast, but make one of the peon crowd stop them, shout "Infidel bastards" and attack the turkey kids, then beat the intended aid recipeints mercilessly?

ROTFLMAO!!

But this doesn't help disuade the evil fact that 70% of the grain is fed to provide meat to the feast kids.

The real tragedy is that the United States can afford to send that 70% of their crops to the cattle. The rest of the world has the 70% of their crop sold or hoarded by the thugs in charge.

Perhaps it would be even MORE REAL if they gave the rice kids the choice of revolution or cannibalism?

As the students ate, Salsich told them that 1.2 billion people live in poverty and 24,000 people a day die from hunger. He said that while many people think there is not enough food in the world to feed everyone, that is not the case. He said the planet produces enough food for everyone. Power, access, politics and other issues mean most of the food is consumed by a small percentage of the people.

Ugh! I need a good Spectre sanity comment ping.

“By drawing lots, it shows them that it's all by luck. We were lucky to be born in a place where our parents have some money. Other people are not that lucky,” Salsich said

Yet another example of a Marxist dimwit spewing his drivel into young minds.

I think it's a safe bet that Hamilton got his (ahem) teaching job by drawing lots...

...smack... chomp...

What? Couldn't hear you, I'm too busy finishing up my "extreme" cheese quesadilla. It's "extreme"!...ly good!

Wonder if this guy would condemn Most Equal of All Comrades "The Cook With All The Firewood" Robert Mugabe for using starvation as a political weapon. Somehow I imagine not... And I'd just like to say:

THIS is one of the most insane things I've ever seen or heard before on this board. Nice going, "teacher". Yeah, it's all "luck". Has nothing to do with freedom, the guarantee of private property, etc. Just luck.

The really big question which begs an answer here is: What did the teachers have on their plates during this exercise? It is the really big question--worthy of really big type.
