The United States seems to have achieved it. Not that we don't have people suffering from malnutrition, but ours have a tendency to weigh > 300 lbs, so I can't describe them as starving.

I'm one such. I have really bad malnutrition. But I'm getting better- after a high of 350, I weighed in at 324 today.

There is a reason why the caste system was stable for 3000 years.

It's the general stupidity and vulgarity of the average American I'm counting on. And if Hillary and Carly are smart, they'll get their daughters to work as aides in the final debate. In swimsuits.

Borders are prison walls to serve a society that is predicated on starving people to motivate them.

And thus fail to serve a society that is incapable of starving people?

Forcing people by law to respect the unrespectible seems to me to be a very bad way to get more respect.

Just another reason to be against liberty.

And thus have no chance of beating Hillary. Gender based voting is going to become a major issue this election.

That first sentence proves that you have NOT read Laudato Sii, and are still speaking out of ignorance- because just about everything you just said is in there.

Took me about 4 hours:

I think if you read the whole thing, you'll find he's a pretty equal opportunity offender, sexual libertarians got a good hundred paragraphs against their lifestyle as well.

Not fault alone, of course. In many ways, I blame liberals of both stripes- fiscal conservatism these days is strongly libertarian, and thus, liberal.

One said says I want to fuck who I want to and damned the consequences tomorrow, we'll just kill any inconvenient product of sexual abuse. The other side says I want to profit from who I want to and damn the regulations, I am not my brother's financial keeper.

Both are putting radical self interest- liberty ahead of the common good- and liberty is liberalism.

And that's what went wrong with slavery in the United States. Too much whip, not enough bread. And then 70 years later with capitalism, too much whip, not enough bread.

Today we have too much bread and perhaps not enough whip, but what is there left to do?

Yep. And I could just see Franklin D, old Curmudgeon that he was, shouting to the Bonus Army "Get off my lawn!"

The Roman Emperors had it right- buy a bunch of state owned bakeries, and give everybody their "Daily Bread" (referenced even in the Lord's Prayer, though Christ had us thanking God for it instead of the Emperor).

Keep the slaves fed, they won't revolt.

At first it wasn't. At first- the War on Poverty had exactly ONE purpose- get the Bonus Army off of Roosevelt's front lawn.

Everything about it since then has been to prevent the revolt that almost did happen.

A huge part of the reason that America has turned leftwards, is because the Republican party has chosen to prioritize fiscal conservationism over social conservationism. Family no longer comes first for most of the Republican leadership, as shown in their marital woes.

The Democrats were always going to go Left, at least the Republicans *could* have given us another choice.
