I really doubt if it's getting worse. I think part of what happens everywhere on this planet has it's roots in who we are. I'm not trying to talk things right, since they are not, but to say it's has gotten worse is something that's not quite possible to say based upon a general idea. To be honest, I think since there are more people on the planet than say a couple of hundred years ago, I think it's very possible this might be one of the main reasons why it seems like it's worse.
If more people have to share a pie than there is pie, then at one point the inevitable will happen. You know, in the end we are still just like any other animal, morals or no morals. That's the problem with the lack of
true equality. And before you think in the direction of racism, that's not what I meant. I meant purely situation-wise. Where you grow up defines your chances, things like that.
