I posit the following-

India is rubbish. It is becoming a large economy because their are lots of people, in the same way that a billion bettles might weigh more than ten blue whales.

Is this a response to the ridiculous post asking why we complain so much?

One must ask the question. Why too many people? Humanity is hugely successful, because the Earth provided well so far. Well all that is about to change a little later in the 21st century according to my crystal ball. Why so much poverty in the world? Unfair distribution of wealth due to greed and a lack of empowerment for people to lead productive lives instead of being under skilled, under employed, and chronically disadvantaged by the perpetual treadmill of poverty.

I read up on India as it looks like a fascinating tour of what it's like a half a world from home. I hope I don't feel disgusted in the end as in, "I'll Never Do It Again," but India holds many poo and bug road hazards for sure.

Over 400 million people chomping for more food, water, and air than is to go around are said to depend on the Ganges for water each day which makes it one extremely polluted place. Another river they hold sacred has been reduced to a ribbon of putred black sludge. Cholera happens over there due to filthy unsanitary conditions and they have rooms full of plastic cots with drain holes in the center of each cot. Yuck.

Well, I've heard hundreds of stories that I could write pages about, but would rather not write here. I'm still going to see what it's like exactly a half a world away from home.
