Last year more than 34,000 children died due to starvation, malnutrition,
or from preventable diseases;  per day.  Just because we can't see them doesn't mean they're not there. 

Guess what.  Oxford economist Donald Hay has pointed out that a mere 2% of the world's grain harvest would be enough, if shared, to erase the problem of hunger and malnutrition around the world...

This, that, the other.  You should stop doing these things:
1)  Stop spending money at Wal-mart, Mc Donald's, and malls in general.  For some reasons why, click here, or here, or here, or here.  To find out about some other poorly run, and dirty companies go here.  Your money is not being wisely spent from anyone's count.  Do you really need another pair of shoes?
2)  Quit eating so much meat, seeing as there is a direct correlation between how much meat we eat and how hungry those in India and Sub-Saharan Africa are.  For some info click here or here
3)  Turn off the television.  Remove it from your life.  You will find that you no longer have the insane drive to purchase things, and you no longer see yourself as a consumer, but as a person.  To find out more go here, or here, or here.
4)  Give more of your money away.  North Americans make up less than 6% of the world's population, but we use over 60% of the planet's resources.  One seventh of the world is living in abject poverty, while we are being made ill from our excesses.  One seventh of the world lives (and dies) on less than a dollar a day.   

God bless America?  He already has.  How about we share it a little?

Also... things go on that Americans have no idea about...

Violent conflict is on the increase all over the world, both in terms of wars between nations and violent clashes between the classes. While war is waged in the Middle East we also see a growing tendency to use more brutal measures against the workers in struggle.    - see www.marxist.com for the full article
