&#62; Lifeboat Ethics: the Case Against Helping the Poor essay: <a href="http://www.garretthardinsociety.org/articles/art_lifeboat_et.." rel="nofollow">http://www.garretthardinsociety.org/articles/art_lifeboat_et...</a>.<p>I can't believe I never read that before - thanks for link. Disagree with a good bit (I'm very pro-immigration/open borders to anyone who can support themselves) but the discussion on how programs like Food For Peace are lobbied hard and silently for by businesses who stand to profit was crazy. Wow, what an interesting summary. Can't believe I haven't seen that one before.
