A few days ago someone in net.abortion [I apologize for losing the
reference] mentioned something about trading convenience for
``morality'', and gave examples like not donating money to some
relief organisation, but rather living a little better yourself.
   This certainly seems true -- virtually everyone does live like
that.

I quote Donald Wollheim, who was quoting an anonymous book:
``The money required to provide adequate food, water, education,
health, and housing for everyone in the world has been estimated
at $17 billion a year. It is a huge sum of money ... about as much
as the world spends on arms every two weeks.
  ...
  Perhaps the figures are a bit exaggerated.''

Maybe it would take six months.
