<p>To the person who posted before me, the world is not homogenous. Please understand that countries like India have a space research program also, even though half the people there are starving. Same way that we still have luxury hotels when so many people have to live in community housing. The world is NOT homogenous and such comparisons as you put forward mean nothing. To quote someone on the Princeton forum from last year, What will you tell your 4 year old sister who is crying because she dropped her lollipop? To shut up because there are graver problems in the world?</p>
