@nnoble: Disagreements over criteria, okay. I'm not sure what the criteria, especially that of the better off who are not indignant, are, but I hope this effort to do something about absolute poverty enjoys some success.

I'm not sure I'm qualified to provide an explanation of what 'economic justice' is, but any fool can see what it is not.

I don't understand the economics of just junking so many bikes.

Economies that put As much as a US$ 1 million in the hands of one person while another makes $1 a day, no matter how it is done, are so far away from anything that might be called economic justice that more questions have to be asked about the overall system than anyone seems to dare to ask - and as to doing something serious about it, one meets nothing but ridicule, defeatism and suppression.
I hope this is all more than just more words, but it's' a long way from here to human decency. The mention of relocation is also a bit worrying.

The Flying Tigers did one hell of a job knocking down Japanese airplanes, but it's interesting that it is never mentioned that both Chennault and his wife Anna were determined anti-communists.
