     ^^^^^^^^^^^

I do not deny that politics have a great influence on peoples lives, but
anyone who has seen "before" and "after" satellite photos of Lake Chad will
recognize the absurdity of the above absolute claim.  Terry and I must not
read the same magazines.  Meanwhile, the desert marches on.

Anyway, the point I was making was simply that famine exists in the world
today.  Saying that it might not have to if politics didn't get in the way
is irrelevant.
