I can only say that we obviously went to different schools. I didn't get any religious indoctrination past the age of 9, and the stuff before that was pretty lightweight.

And I have perfect freedom of speech on my journal

Feeding people in the third world will work perfectly well if there is also education - education (particularly of women) is what has caused the huge drop in birth rates in the first world (now well below replenishment rate across most of it). And in those areas where the debt has been dropped significantly, they are educating themselves - and will do so more when the debt goes completely (fingers crossed that this happens soon).

And I'm failing to see, generally, the huge grip of the corporations on the third world - most of the problems seem to stem from tribalism and religion - both easily fixed with a generation or two of education.
