Was just thinking about how 80% of the world's resources are consumed by 20% of its people and other various granola thoughts like that. Something occurred to me about capitalists and the capitalist, "to each his own" viewpoint. I don't think I have a problem with it as long as the believers of that form of American social religion also look at these granola facts and feel frustration and sadness over them too. There's a big difference between feeling for these inequities that we should all feel for and strive to correct them and thinking that capitalism is the best approach to solving that problem and simply not caring about the problem because you're too blinded by capitalism.
