I am at a loss..

I began this blog , writing about philosophy, then about politics; (subject which I really ignore) ,I only spoke about my ideology , which has changed with the flowing of the years ,from a liberal? to a caring about the poor of the world ?
Poor people have none or less opportunities in the long run of life.( There are always exceptions, of course...) I mean ,"poor"... in money, food, house, clothes,( intelligence which is sometimes a result of lack of food in the first year of life, common sense, love , and so on...)
Europe and Asia are very old countries, so all we know about their poverty is what we read in history books. The younger continents are very different now... The countries, discovered and colonized by England are far more advanced in education, health, housing, than those colonized by Spain , I don´t know the reason why...To my great sorrow there is a " great "difference"in Africa" (may be because of racial discrimination), now Africa is "poor",very poor. Conquerors have obtained from her all they needed. So, she´s "dry"...
I don't speak of South Africa, because its situation is different. Different countries have colonizad her and conquered her. They are not a free country in SA, but the situation of "poverty" has been solved.
It´s extremely sad indeed, the situation of North Africa, political and social, at the moment, ...and in my modest opinion , this terrible situation can't be reversed.
And what about Latinamerica? Rich Corporations that belong to rich countries are destroying it and robbing its riches now.
From 5 or 6 centuries , countries are extracting her wealth and sending it to the countries which discovered and colonized them, and recently it's done by corporations .
Are they the rulers of the land? ,countries or commercial societies ,countries or corporations , rule the land? Or , in the future,only Commercial Societies will rule and govern the world ? Countries will disappear? What about Presidents, kings ,...
The situation in Argentina is complicated .Now, poor people came to the cities.Cultivation of "soya" increased this migration. Less people are needed to work the land.Tractors are more important now.
There are too many "villas" and" settings of people",where "poors" live. Not only poor people but "mala gente" too. There are almost "no families". Kids are deserted by parents, for different reasons, and in some cases , they are taught to steal .Now some kids obtain guns and kill people to rob 20 pesos...
The people in the villas or settings, are Argentines, who migrated from their provinces to "the cities" ,or people from poor neighbouring countries ,who migrated seeking a better place to live, but only in the cities.... They don't chose the "campo" . They live in the cities in very poor conditions of health , but they say that they are better than in their country of birth...Is it because the government of the City of Bs As offers subsidies to the unemployed?...
The" Argentina of today is a consequence of "el proceso militar" y "la década del dólar igual al peso" where ,what was left of some importance in Argentina ,was sold,or rented ( in other words "given as a token of ...?) strangely enough , the president of that government , which extended for 10 years, Menem , "who was voted by the people democratically", strangely enough, has not been judged...
But the following governments haven´t done anything to correct this. They didn´t give the people education , houses , or "work", so the people forgot the most important thing that makes a country develop:"WORK".
People are waiting for the "State Money", given to them by the National Government , as subsidies.So many problems derive from this. People have to "work" and the State has to provide them with "Education, Health, Food", not money...
In the USA, people obtain from the Government an allowance if they lose their work , up to the moment they have a new work,..."it's completely different"...
There's no comparison, between the two countries , because USA is in better economic conditions, but nevertheless it is important to bear in mind , that money given to people by the Sate without the response of work, is not a solution,...it's charity... People who receive this subsidy "must" work .They "must" plant , or nurse, or clean, or...whatever is needed...
There is a "State" in Argentina, thanks God!, but , what does the State "really" do now for those families?
The State "PATCHES"..., OK, all right it`s better to patch than to do "nothing"...
Some people from neighbouring countries come to Argentina , some to improve their life, (some , with a better economic situation come to the city of BS As to obtain the benefits of free health and free Education, free Universities, it is heard that they even buy an apartment in the city and come with their families , and then return to their countries of origin, in good health and with a University title......)
No" papers" showing their health, their education, the work they will do ...are needed in the Customs of our country, and so drugdealers and "gente de mal vivir", come to our country , to increase the number of "poors", and the number of people in villas or settings or "the street"...
Sometimes I wonder if the governments permit this ,to give them documents and obtain more votes?..., because this "situation" is not new...We have "villas" in Argentina , for at least 50 years...
This is a very long writing , so I'll write a 2nd part soon.
Susienflores.
