If stealing a loaf of bread will prevent starving, you should have

That is easy to say from your and my comfortable seats. But
as recently as in my grandparents' day, there was real
famine in Europe, and no way to do something. If the crops
fail -- through disease, the wrong weather, no water,
whatever -- you starve and there is nothing you can do about
it. In China between 1958 and 1961, tens of millions
starved, and there was nothing whatever they could have
done.

It's not a moral question anymore if there is no bread available to
steal.

There's always somewhere ELSE to steal it from...

But it's not just me & Mickey -- we, as a world society, have decided
that we should not steal to save lives. China can ask for aid (a hand
out) and, if that's not forthcoming, they can GET BREAD ON CREDIT!

(Or rice, or stray cats, or whatever the hell those people eat ;)

(Heh. The pound where Mrs. Misc works is looking to solve the local
stray cat problem, we might be able to work a deal...)

I will not, no matter how "good" the deal, patronise any business which sends
unsolicited commercial e-mail or that advertises in discussion newsgroups.
