Can't chooose just one.But I think I'd begin with poverty.If we're supposed to be such a rich country then I wonder why we have so many homeless people.Which shouldn't be the case.

There wouldn't be so much poverty if there wasn't so much ignorance, and consequently greed........wine wave

Poverty. If poverty were eliminated worldwide, I think that many of the other items on the list would be addressed and possibly even fixed. Funds would be available, and the lost and lonely would be more involved in society and part of the process.

Everyone wins!

Ignorance is lack of knowledge otherwise known as education. With proper funds, ignorance is eliminated. Because of proper funds there really would be no need for greed. wine

Ignorance perpetuates ignorance and no amount of money or education has worked to cure that yet...If we can simply get rid of ignorance, I vote for that.

Yep, and knowledge is obtained thru education. Education is paid for with MONEY. Poverty/money? Get the connection?

Maybe you need to look up the word ignorance. This is the word OP used. Ignorance and knowledge are very closely rlated. Perhaps you are talking about plain old stupidity and laziness?????confused

Money on that level is a bunch of zeros in a computer... The lack of money isn't the cause of ignorance, the lack of correct information is the cause.

Perhaps I should clarify..

Education does not = knowledge

Education is the process of providing knowledge, ignorance often prevents the absorbtion of the knowledge so I how can money help that?

There are many kinds of education and many of them don't cost money. A typical one would be common sense, coupled with compassion, which is gained from experience......all knowledge.

If people had common sense and compassion then they wouldn't let other people go hungry, (just to have a second car or yacht, or whatever luxury they have convinced themselves they need). Money would be more evenly distrubed because it was the right thing to do, and fair to everyone.wine
