So true..my 3rd wife (full blood African from Burindi) had 3 kids I adopted. Two very intelligent young daughters and a son who learned English instantly. The oldest daughter told me of some terrible things she'd witnessed. Boiling it all down--she said people were crazy and violent in Africa "because they're hungry." Things get so desperate that they'll sometimes try to eat grass. Even she, as a little girl, had tried to eat grass.

Moving along from this point...there is more than just hunger that drives 'people' to desperation. There is a 'madness' in males that needs to be quenched. Look at the First World War. There was a 'war fever'. Men were exhilarated about the opportunity to go overseas and kill. To be a HERO. why? They weren't hungry; society was looking good with the discovery and implementation of electricity; radio and music gramophones. Plenty of jobs. Why the need to fight in 1914? So its more than just hunger.
