Why don't homeless people move to warm climates where they will never die from cold? I wouldn't mind if some of our taxes or charity money was used to pay the ticket for homeless people to move to warm regions where no one dies from cold. I think this is smart and effective way to spend money and make a difference!

So that we never have to read news like the following:

"Homeless man found dead likely succumbed to cold"

The bitter cold and windy weather appear to have caused the death of a homeless man in his found on the cliffs behind Union City's Doric Apartments today, officials said...

Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish!

This line was used by Steve Jobs in his speech to graduates of Stanford University in 2005. If we take his advice literally, then Africa has the most potential to create millionaires and successful businessmen in the years to come.

The Africans stay "hungry" because they're "foolish" enough to think this way they'll make it rich one day. Unlike the Chinese or the Indians who do not seem to follow that logic anymore because they're smart enough to want to feed their people. What about all the millions of homeless people in the US? Any chance they might be following Job's advice? Mac hunger training perhaps?

I think it is all about getting priorities right. Food for thought or thought for food? What would you rather have more of? How can we best fight hunger and poverty around the world?
