Subject: What can AAH do about it?

I used to think that if EVERYBODY would get ALL of the basic necessities then we would have eliminated the need for so many to be "bad". But, apparently, many bad people have been far from poor as children, and have had a good educational background. So what incentives are required for more people to be GOOD, and fewer people to be bad?
..... In theory all babies, infants, children, etc. have rights. To be well-fed with sufficient and nourishing food, to be loved, and getting at least all necessary basic necessities. There seem to be too many people. In my view NO babies at all should be conceived in famine areas, nor where there are too many people already with too few jobs, where there is bound to be a lot of misery at times. There are (regular?) economic cycles with their boom times and recessions; politicians still have not learned how to deal with these properly in time, to anticipate problems and apply PREVENTIVE solutions that would also prevent a lot of misery-based hatreds. What could an Army Against Hate (AAH) do about that?

..... Nobody seems to know how to change conflicts in the proper direction so that there is a long-term solution. It's like a fire that is out of control; it's battled by many well-meaning people with not enough resources but lots of (empty?) useless rhetoric, and when the fire seems to be out here then it starts again later here, or even worse in another place. What could the AAH do about that????

..... Unfortunately it is far easier to send people to the moon, or elsewhere into space, even to send unpeopled probes to planets, than it is to get people to help one another, and provide suitable living accomodations and jobs for all. And we call ourselves "civilized"?
