I wish there was a solution.
Were you to take the entire worlds wealth, and somehow distribute it equally among its peoples, there would still be those who would find reasons to hate.
Eliminate organized religion and you will have race wars.
Eliminate all different races, make everyone the same color, and you will have men against women.
I read this story in a novel somewhere, some time.
The problem isn't poverty, religion, race or anything else.
Its us.

DG, I think there is a clue in your statement somewhere.
Personally, since I've retired, I consider a trip across town to be a long journey, although I do make an occasional trip to the mountains to vegetate (my version of meditate).
Some years ago I deployed to Saudi Arabia. This was a few months after the Kobar Tower bombing (also a few months after the Atlanta, GA bombing). My family was very concerned about my safety and were somewhat perturbed when I pointed out that I would be as far from the Kobar Towers as I lived from Atlanta and they were not concerned about my safety here. Things that seem so near when on the other side of the world are often not really so near.
