Why is it wrong? In many areas they are going through a drought which has caused their agricultural capabilities to be diminished. I'm not hoarding, I just happened to be living in a country of more resources. Because we as a species are able to comprehend this makes it "wrong"? For millions are years civilizations and groups of animals have come together, populated an area or migrated looking for plentifull resources. Some live, some die. We are now somehow obligated to ensure all humans are well fed and clothed and have water and shelter? Again, why is it only humans that deserve this special treatment?

Nope we arn't. Since when are we all obliged to help even the playing field for people who are born more superior or inferior to us? By the very nature of genetics we all start out with differing chances of success. Again, this is just life.
Because we are able to understand this, it makes us obliged to fight it? You don't see it is "fair". I see it as being the ultimate form of "fair".
