Bottom line security concerns
Scientific American ‘keeps it real’ and lays out the greatest threats to the current world order. No, it’s not Islam, Communism, the Clash of Cultures or any of that nonsense – it’s the massive consumption (for livestock and biofuelds) of the world food supply on the part of the halves that is putting severe pressure on the halve-nots – causing states to fail and foster terrorism, piracy, the drug trade and disease.
Again, our foreign policy and national defense spending is greatly misguided – or perhaps insane would be a better word.
Stumble it!

Halves? And halve-nots? Are you even trying?

I’m not so worried about the halves and the halve-nots. I’m more worried about the wholes.
